What size amp would you recommend for one of these subs?
1838211
At least something with the same rms wattage at the ohms that it will be wired. I am using a 1500 but it is something I had lying around which isnt enough on a single channel but bridged is too much so u just have to make sure u tune correctly and let it break in it took about a week for me

I would recommend a 1000w, as it will give the sub plenty of power, and won't work the amp as hard so it'll stay cooler. I have my gain turned down on my 1000w, the amp didn't even get hot. I have my gain at around 70%. I've also run the sub at 100% gain from the amp, it just hits harder and deeper. Not sure if there will be long term effects that may impact the subs life though, putting more juice to it then what kicker rates it at.

I have it hooked up to a 1000 watt kicker mono amp. I've been told you really only need about 400 watts though. It works great I love it.

500 mono block alpine. Best combination !!! I have had the system for over a year and never have I had a problem.

Fred it all depends on how much money you want to spend. You could buy a punch 1000bd or step to the power series t 1000bdcp I got a t 1000 and love it I'm pushing somewhere around 1500-1600 watts rms at 1 ohm the only thing is the lower the ohms ( impedance) the lower efficiency average is going to be which means how clean your bass is going to be. My next amp is going to be a t2500 on these subs the only thing is that I'm going to have to rewire these subs from 1 ohm to 4 ohms so I don't blow them up on the bass heavy song I play thru that amp to the subs.

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).

This will do the trick with the right electrical n wire the two sub's down to 1,ohm this will do rated n ur sub's will sound amazing!!!

The amp choice is really up to you and how many subs and how are you going to wire them up. I have one 12" Type R 4ohm sub wired to 2ohm. Using a Hifonics Zeus 1800 watt mono amp. Assuming that the amp is "actually" capable of pushing 1800w at 1ohm. It should be pushing 900w to the Type R. It sounds amazing in the trunk of my 96 Impala SS. Go with the 4ohm sub if youre going to use two subs, wire them down to 2ohm and find an amp capable of pushing a solid 2000w. Amps will state total power at 1ohm, 2ohm will be half that.

I use a Yamaha RX-V663 but any good amp should do. I run 7.1 so I got an amp that will do 7.1. If you are running 5.1, you won't need that.

That amp would be perfectly fine for two of these subs wired at 2 ohms if yiu wire to 1ohm you may blow them though

It should be fine, I run my single sub with about the same power and it hits very well. Make sure you wire them correctly because it definitely makes a big difference as I myself found out first hand!

Not enough info here, but I would bridge two channels to one of those subs. This amp would probably handle both of them, but not two amps and speakers.

I would recommend a small amp for the clarity. They sound real nice, no sub needed unless you want a little thump.

Any amp under 2000 watts will work great. I have a 250 tma pushing my two and they sound awsome. Either 2 or 4 ohm will work just depends on what u like be careful.

Well I use this amp for my highs and they sound proper... My one 13.5 in JL runs on a JL amp... I would suggest one of those for your subs...

I power this sub with a 500 watt max mono kicker amp. These subs can handle more in my opinion so far since I've had it

i have rockford T1000 db 2 chaneel and 3 jl w6 12' i run them on serial to 4 oz because it sound better but in you case i dont know what tipe amp do you have and what sub do you have

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

I would go by the picture description but if you want beat i would go with phantom Soundz i owned a 15in l7 and now I'm with phantom Soundz and they take 2000+ rms and they are the same price best sub I've owned

It depends on what you like 12inch or 15inch subs I have mine hook up too two 12inch mtx square subs and it rocks but i would say find you TWO subs you like maybe kicker pioneer mtx or kenwoods look for at least 1000 watt max subs
