Are they 2ohm subs Or 4ohm?? Are they brand new?

make sure you're looking at diagrams for dual 2ohm subs.

I doubt that amp does rated. You wont be giving them much power at all. Its not going to hurt them if you set it right but if your going to get a amp get one that works.

those R's love power too, as long as it's clean.

You did indeed get the wrong amp. I'd be surprised if they see 800w out of that thing. Which is fine as long as you're okay with it. But if you had a budget in mind, maybe we could help you find something better. Since they are D2 subs, you'll want to find an amp that puts out the power you want, at 2 ohms, which makes everything a lot more expensive. Well, you're really not gonna find more power at 2 ohms, for a price you like. But I've found some amps that will make some good power at 2 ohms for a bit bigger budget: fs: Kicker zx1500 - Car Audio Classifieds

I cancelled that order but the thing is I ordered a 4 gauge power wire so idk if a bigger amp will work with it

 

[TheUnderFighter 10+ year member]

What 4 gauge wire did you order? We'll see how much it can handle.

Bought it on newegg it says it can handle 2500 watts but idk

Assuming he doesn't want to have to spend a bunch of money on an extra battery, I would avoid the inefficient apsm1500. It makes power, and that's cool, but it pulls a ton of current to do it.

I was using a APSM1500 to power 2 12" Type R SWR-1222D's not a week and a half ago and I had no issues and I assure you my electrical is not great.

3 year old battery under the hood (not an agm)

90a stock alt

no big 3

I had some dimming on hard hitting bass notes and none on the lows. Not sure why you assume it pulls a ton of current.

Doesn't say what brand it is at all?

Oxygen Free Copper? or Copper Clad Aluminum?

You would have been better off getting a 4 or 0 gauge kit from KnuKonceptz.com

Its all good though as long as its decent wire.
