What would be better for this sub. A 1100 Wattt amp or 1600. I like really loud deep bass, but don't want the metal of my car to rumble. That ruins it

I have a 1600 watt on mine because I liked the amp but rms on these are 400 watts so 1100 will be fine just make sure you have a gain remote on it and you can adjust how deep you want the bass. I have both of mine in a sealed enclosure and they sound great

It all depends on the brand of amp really, but with that much power I recommend that instead you buy a 2ohm kicker comp r that's what I have now with a 500w kicker amp and it slams but it's deep and smooth, way smoother than the cvr

You actually want to go with an amp the is bigger or has the same wattage rating as your subwoofers. As far as the rumble, dynamat because it helps control the vibration.

Watts don't exactly matter. Quality over quantity. You'd be way better off having a kicker 500x1 mono amp than some cheap 2000 watt amp the cheap amps give cheap power and a quality amp will give quality sound

believe it or not im pushing 2 with a 500 watt dual brand amp and it sounds great i wasnt after loudness as much as clarity and ritch bass and i get both with less amp then trying to run max.

This recommend spec are on there website but for loud deep bass I would a 3 cu ft box tune to 32 hz this sub handle way over 1500 watts but 1200 would be just enough for it

Ive had 2 of these for a year and half they are badass. I personally use a 40 amp breaker to run them. Pullin roughly 600 watts. I used 30 amp fueses and would always blow them when the bass hit low. P.S this is for 2 subs at 2 ohms make sure your amp will handle this and dont try to put 600 watt to one sub. You will blow one in a heart beat. Been there done that. Haha.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

I'm running a 1000w Kenwood mono d series amp and it's doing a great job and sounds great. So I'd say 1000w to 1200w is the best safe route to go since it's only has a 700w RMS if your going for two though I'd say a 2000w would push them nicely

I have 1 in a standard sealed enclosure and it is AMAZING. Very clean crisp bass with plenty of power. The shop I had it installed at actually started carrying these subs to sell after hearing the power this sub had in a small enclosure with only 800w pushing. I would make the switch IF crisp bass is what your after (I listen to all kinds of music and need it to compliment rap/rock/pop/dub step). If shaking the vehicle next to you is your only goal go ported.

I agree with 1966, mine is pushing a 12 inch L5 and sounds good but could definitely sound better. So this amp with a 15 inch L7? You would be working this amp out for sure, plus ur sub needs more Watts to sound decent.

I dont know what you people are pushing with a BOSS AMP, and I see people saying use a capacitor its pulling too much power, breaking windows, but I see them using BOSS SUBS, and DUAL SUBS, were talking all cheap products people and CLASS D SHOULD NOT DIM YOUR LIGHTS OR DRAIN YOUR BATTERY, and its of course no where near 4000 watts, its a couple hundred watts. Get a DIGITAL ALPINE SUB AMP and your system will sound CLEAN, LOUD and your LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM OR KILL YOUR ALTERNATOR or catch your car on fire LOL

i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

Because they are separate channels im sure you could do this with no problem. Although doing that will cause a big in-balance of music in your car because your pushing a lot more power to the rear speakers causing them to be louder than the front, if you want more bass think about dropping the sub down to 2ohm

It depends on what you are looking for. If you prefer rap/hip-hop, or r&b.... then a mono amp is for you. If you are looking for more than just bass, a stereo amp is better. However, uit should be no more than 300 RMS/600 Peak.
318890
well if your looking to go to the peak power 1600 true watts i have 2 on a 1200 watt amp and they sound good id probably get a 1500 watt mono block hifonics amp the one thats one ohm stable and wire the subs to one ohm and they will sound great

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.

I'd look at the Fender Rumble Bass Amps, they are made for bass and there are several different sizes and price ranges to choose from.
1643145
yes, that's fine. it would still be a major major upgrade from your stock subs. but it is recommended to power any sub at about 25% more than its RMS power rating to get the most out of what you paid for it. nevertheless, you'll have fun with it vs the stock ones.

way too much power n dont push the bass if u wanna keep um playing nicely.....there only 1100 watts a piece.... so b careful.....!!!!
