How much RMS for a single skar vvx 12?

[tf3090 10+ year member]

I'm going to order a Skar VVX 12 + the custom made box from skar audio, and an audiopipe APSM 1300 amp that provides 1000 watts RMS at 1 ohm. The box they are making me will be roughly ~1.8 cubes, so if i hook it up to be running at 1 ohm, around how much power should I be running to the subwoofer if I am going to be listening to it daily? I know they are rated at 600 RMS, but all the people I see with them on here are running way more than 600 per sub.

There's a reason I suggested that amp.

So run the full 1000 watts at 1 ohm and it will be fine? Thanks, can't wait for my stuff to get here, you're the man for showing me that deal vossy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Even if you dont "use" all of that power, its nice to have the extra head room.

Exactly what I was going for, don't crank it. headroom is great.

Tune it with a DMM, and correctly. Don't ruin it

Have you tested this? Or just follow the nuthuggers.

I didn't think so, it's a solid budget amp.

nuthuggers dont say that they produce dirty power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

and for the money, it is good. but just doesnt send a clean signal
