2 cerwin vega strokers.any info will be helpful thanks.

I highly doubt it. Audio Art is made for SQ applications while CW Strokers are SPL oriented. It would be like making garage sale posters with a calligraphy pen. Are they the OG Strokers?

Just grab one of these and you'll be fine. These are "Old School".

The subs are old school cv 12d2 dual 4 ohm

And those are old school amps. A perfect match.

Picture? You would be better off using the Audio Art for components and getting a Class D for the CVs. Class Ds are more efficient than old school amps so size will be minimal and easy on your electrical.

thanks for the replies. the back of my speakers says 1000 watts total is that rms or peak?

That should be peak

Wire them to 4 ohms for the pair and that amp will run them. Not to full potential, but will run them wired to 4 ohm Bridged on the amp. The subs will perform much deeper and at full potential wired to a final 1ohm load, and you would need to find a mono amp to handle a 1ohm stable final load. But be a great front stage SQ amplifier no doubt if it works well also

Be a good amp for your subs wired to a 1ohm stable load to this amplifier for you

They must be the newer model. That is RMS. The 10" is 800 RMS.

Is this it?

I stand corrected, most of the time the "total power" rating means peak
