[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7423153, member: 576029"] note that the OP wants to run two 1200W amps. also note that you'll attain 1200W RMS for only brief instances (assuming your amp is even capable of that output after voltage drop). music is dynamic, and to attain rated power you need a strong signal in the recording, a high volume level from the HU that is perfectly matched with the input sensitivity of the amplifier, and the signal needs to be at a frequency where the sub impedance is actually it's nominal impedance (and not close to the fs of the driver). most people give their subs less than 100W for 99% most of the time. amplifier power is grossly misunderstood.
