a lotttt more than 500 watts.

Model Name : 13Av.2 Subwoofer

Size : 13" Subwoofer

Available Voice Coils : Dual 2 - or - Dual 4

Power Handling : 1200/1500 WRms

1200 watts is normal for it...1500w puts it in the red (close to losing warranty)

Find a AudioQue 1200D or something else that's 1200 watts...then all would be good. I have 2 13Ov.2's - love 'em!

i'm gettin 2 runnin it off of a crunch gp3000.

i really like these subs and they are very good for the price. these subs will hit any bass note you will throw at them, and still get loud

you guys think a little over 900 watts will be enough for mine?

 

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

i do but to get loud, if you want it that way (you should) go ahead and go with a 1500w amp

 

[JUHL 10+ year member]
