Would a 300 watt amp not be ideal for this subwoofer?

This sub is rated at 600watts rms which means no, a 300watt amp would not be enough power to properly push this sub. You always want to have more power than the rms rating of the sub for optimal performance. I'm running a 1000w pioneer mono block amp at 1ohm stable running to just one of these subs in a ported box and I can Probably push my windshield out if I gave it enough power...

A subwoofer's wattage would be delivered to the speaker, not the receiver. This is a moot question.

Your amp should be about as twice the RMS rating as your sub. 1000w sub should have at least a 2000w amp supplying it. Otherwise your amp will have to work to hard to push the sub.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

Ok, so the sub is 500W RMS and 4 ohms. That means that your amp will be sending it 350W. You will have 300W going to each of the "200W" 8's and 350W going to the sub. It should be fine unless you are over-driving the 8's - on music, there shouldn't be a problem.

That shouldn't be an issue. The amp is strong. Don't let the physical size of it mislead you. I would recommend it.

yeah it will be do doubt, but the loudness and clarity depends on what your sub needs one the box it came with it should have a rms and max wattage rating. for instance i have two kicker comp 12s both rated at 300w max a peice... this means if i want them playin at peak power id need a 600w amp, but i use this 300w mono block to power them both 300w or 150w a piece which is my subs rms rating... believe me they are plenty loud enough!!! any louder and my car would raddle to pieces. so the answer to your question is yes if you 300w falls between your subs max and rms rating. i hope that helped! and btw this amp is boss!! it works great so i recommend it. yeah it will be do doubt, but the loudness and clarity depends on what your sub needs one the box it came with it should have a rms and max wattage rating. for instance i have two kicker comp 12s both rated at 300w max a peice... this means if i want them playin at peak power id need a 600w amp, but i use this 300w mono block to power them both 300w or 150w a piece which is my subs rms rating... believe me they are plenty loud enough!!! any louder and my car would raddle to pieces. so the answer to your question is yes if you 300w falls between your subs max and rms rating. i hope that... » Read More yeah it will be do doubt, but the loudness and clarity depends on what your sub needs one the box it came with it should have a rms and max wattage rating. for instance i have two kicker comp 12s both rated at 300w max a peice... this means if i want them playin at peak power id need a 600w amp, but i use this 300w mono block to power them both 300w or 150w a piece which is my subs rms rating... believe me they are plenty loud enough!!! any louder and my car would raddle to pieces. so the answer to your question is yes if you 300w falls between your subs max and rms rating. i hope that helped! and btw this amp is boss!! it works great so i recommend it. « Show Less

Yes u will have no problem. This amp is beefy don't let the wattage fool u. Hope this helps.

I would, but not that well cause this amp is only rated at 500 wats rms, and 2 12's at 400 a piece is more than it can handle. It would probably start to get warm or even hot.

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

Although it would work, best results would be achieved using another amplifier of at least 200 - 600 watts per channel. In this application a better choice may be to purchase powered subwoofers.

3600 watts will probably be a bit too much for this amplifier. I use mine for about 600 watts RMS between two subwoofers and I need 3/4 gain to power them. Im betting you would need one amp on each speaker cab for your system.

The power on the rca out for the sub is intentionally low for clarity. A small amp should be used with it. I would recommend an all in one like the kicker bass station. Its a hundred watts built into the box. But im pretty sure you will need an amp for any sub connected with the rca, otherwise I would just wire it to the higher power outputs and omit the rca outs.

I am using a 300 watt 5.1 amp to power these. I don't think you will be happy with anything less than 150 watts of power. They are remarkable sounding, though.....

Yes. I would think so. As long as your subs are wired in parallel you'll be fine. Keep in mind it's a 600 watts rms output so you'll be getting 200 watts rms a piece. But even at 50% to each sub I'd imagine that for the price of this amp you'd be getting a good bang for your buck.
