I had 600wrms to each of my cvr 12s...had a JBL 1200.1 on them and sounded great...but you gotta be careful setting your gains, or POOF! They're gone o.0

well since they are rated at 400rms, i would give them no more than 450 a piece...thats just me tho.

my friend has a mtx 7801 on his 2 comp vr's and i set the gains to around 1300 and they seem to be doing good (knock on wood).

If you have the kicker prefab make sure you dont have polyfill in there, when my friend ordered the subs the box together it came with polyfill even though its ported which is stupid..
