2 x 12" Dayton Subs w/ Profile AP1000?

[JoeSVT 10+ year member]

OK, I currently have a Profile AP1000 amp powering 1 12" Dayton sub in a 1.cu box. The AP1000 bridged gives my watt a "suppose" RMS of 480w, but if split into two channels, it gives each sub a wattage of 160w rms X 2.

Does the amp even give the sub in bridge mode, exactly 480w RMS? or is it over-rated, if so, can I assume my dayton sub right now is getting probably around 200w RMS?

Cause I want to add another 12" Dayton sub in a 1.cu sealed box, and would like to power it with the AP1000 i have now, but will 160w to each sub sound any decent??

cause right now it bumps hard, but I want harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif :naughty: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif :naughty: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

it will make close to rated power. it will not be enough for 2 of the daytons. typically subs handle more power in sealed boxes and they actually require it in many.
