I live in an apartment and I have a 120 watt sub right now and 400 watts do You think it is overkill or does this sub not go that high.?

A 5"subwoofer is louder than that sub... you don't have too worry about it being loud

I guess it depends on the size of the apartment and applicaion. But it is a lot of sub. I use this in a dedicated theater room 19 ft x 28 ft and it does a nice job.

It depends what your using it for but it will shakE the walls i wouldn't say it sounds like 400 true Watts but does enhace a movie though

Absolutely, I have a 400 ft2 living room with 10 ft ceilings and this sub shakes the entire room (and house). Just move it around the room and see where it sounds the best.

Sounds like you would be underpowering the sub, by a lot. IX402 is 40W, BP1204 is 250W-300W.

It was for me. I really like my Dayton Sub 1000 for my basement budget system. But there was too big a difference with that and my Polk PSW505 in my main system. The Sub-1200 was a big improvement. My Polk PSW505 still blows the 1200 away, but it closes the gap a bit. It's perfect for my budget system. I feel that you get a lot more subwoofer for $20 more with the 1200. If I were you though, I would get the Polk PSW505 which is on sale for $199 right now. It's a steal at that price. You do live in a studio apartment so it could be too much. With all that being said, I think the Sub-1200 is a great buy. Great sub for this price. Check out my review for more info on the Dayton Sub-1200

That would be fine. In fact it would be a little under powered with two subs which is fine. They will take about 700 to 1000 a piece with no issues.

i have 2 12" hifonocs subs rated for 800watts each so 1600 total and it doesn't come close to powering it. DONT BUY i would guess it puts out around 800-1000 TOTAL

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

Bass is great I have a 100 watt 8" Polk connected to mine. I don't turn mine up that loud, remember this is not a real expensive unit . If you want perfection spend more money.

You'll be under powering the sub almost 1000 watts. Cause the amp puts out 1800 watts @4ohms and 2500@ 2 ohms. So if u don't already have a sub, try a 2 ohm one it should work better.

It Is Mono So It Is 400 RMS For Both Subs Not Per...And You Might Want More Watts...I Do...400 Does Not Get The Ultra Low Notes Enough Punch

I wouldn't run that amp wide open, the sub might not last long at 900 watts continuously. Keep her at 60-70% and you'll be ok, and the sub will last you much longer

Its powered my sub that was 1400 w max for about a month and it blew. i dont suggest buying it

Friend the low moves really well if you have power. and if you have a 4000 watt. although this amp hard to bust up putting on two ultra low.

Which means your subs rms true power should at the most be pushing 1700 watts. Prob not even that. But it woukd work. Wire down to 1 ohm

I am very happy with the sub. Don't have any experience any other quality subs so can't compare. It is quite powerful without being "boomy". I have it in a large carpeted living room. Sorry I could not relate to your question more directly - hope this little bit helps.

I had this set up for a while. Wire the subs to 2ohms. Better to over power a sub than under power

Right now I have a 12" MTX sub that I enjoy just for the smooth bass, but I want to upgrade to a 12" Infinity Kappa sub. I would say a sub no more than 1200 watt max will satisfy.
