im getting a 12" sub with 1200watts 600 rms would these be nice?

It probably will NOT be. The amp is barely 600 watts @2ohms. So it probably won't hit hard.

I'm not sure if I could honestly answer your question because I'm using all five channels for my system. However, it's a great amp with a lot of power.

its rated for 550W Bridged@4Ω and I do not believe that is 550RMS. The general idea of a 5 channel amp is to run 5 speakers, if you're just powering only a subwoofer via amp I suggest a good Monoblock amp.

I am running an old power acoustik 1100 I bought ten years ago. Never got rid of it and once the new system was placed in my vehicle, it got recycled into the new setup. Yes, it does have a good thump to it. Only downside is that the model doesn't come with a remote sub, volume control. Sold separately it seems.

This amp would definitely be able to run them. Probably not to their full potential, but I run two 12" and it sounds really good. I bought this unit for $100 and it was worth that. Not much more than $125.

Not to sure about that but I have a peavey 600 watt driving them and it great!

it should be fine, the rms would match perfectly, which is what should happen, you would have to run the subs in parallel as well.

I blew these subs out like 2 weeks after i had them installed lol... Upgraded to a kicker cwr12 which is much better. My advice is dont skimp on the sub if you want some impressive sound

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

It handles my 500 watt 12" subs. If your speakers are 1000 watts then I would go with something higher watts. Depends on how loud you want the subs.

Yes depending on how hard you want to rock them, this amp hits my 10" pretty good. I would step it up a little next time, like at 1200--2000 watt.

It can handle around 650rms so 1200watt rms amp would still work just don't turn it up all the way and also make sure the ohms match up as well this thing kicks let me tell you

Depends on your budget, but these are budget starter subs, so something light life 600rms so like 300 watts a piece n 2 ohms if possible you wouldn't get all your wattage @ 4ohm but 4 ohms is the safest for these speakers "cant" take constant beating

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).
234275
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.

Yeah, I agree with Claudio. It would push them but it would probably overheat and go into protect mode before getting anything near the SPL that those 2 12's can make. You should get a 1000 watt amp instead and run them with the gain turned down a little so that your subs don't distort. You'll have plenty of headroom for your amp as well so that it runs cool and smoothly with no signal clipping.

I have 2 and only running 3000 watt amp and they sound pretty good and hit hard, I would say for the price they are a great deal.

Well the 500 watt subwoofer is the 10" one, the 12" is 600 Watts, as long as the amp can support 1 ohm it will. I'd go with the 12 bc it will hit the full range of notes,

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.
