Daily...I'd say 1000-1200 should be plenty to get it loud...I had a 15" SX and ran a Sundown 1500D on it daily and it took it just fine...no smell, no sign of stress for 6 months.

I think 1000-1800 watts would be fine on it daily...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

1500 rms is the limit I put on them for customers that know what they are doing, for a newer fanatic I do 1000 rms. I have a few guy that run them at comps and burp them with 2700 but it heats them up quickly.

If you can hear the difference between 1200 and 1000W, you've got some incredible ears, FYI...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Don't believe all you hear.

They will take 1200 RMS fine assuming you give them clean power. I would take the AQ1200 over a hifonics 1606 any day of the week. It will be much more reliable, have a solid warranty, and put out rated power. Not to mention the bass knob lets you know when your clipping so you don't blow the sub for sure.

Truth. I didn't notice much of a difference between the 500 and 1200 watt amps when i upgraded //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
