Lanzar makes some bad *** amps in the Opti line..but the Vibe and Heratige, etc....nah. A lot of folks here start out using Maxxsonics (Hifonics, Mb Quart). Look for Class D amps and as I hope you learned..look at the rms and the fuse ratings.   The Class D usually starts out at 80%+ at 4ohms dropping down to 60-70%(worst case) at 1 or .5 ohms..which is still far better than the the best Class A/B&#39;s in efficiency. If that amp you have actually put out 800watts rms per ch at 2 ohms, it would need at least about 230 amps of fusing...and you would need multiple batteries, etc.  Tell ya what though, that amp would drive a set of mid/high comps up front like mad.stay cool-</blockquote>To say the least..That sub is a monster!! I had 4 of them hitting in my truck back in 06 I believe..It is an old school USA Made/California made Audiobahn..I believe I still have one left up in my closet,with an 18 still in the crate..lol.. but those were DVC 4ohm subs,and rated @ 900 rms,and will do every bit of it..Get yourself a good old school Autotek Mean Machine 44/66/99,or a 7050-7300 bts amp even an old school Hifonics VII/VIII Cyclops,Hercules,Thor,and watch that joker come alive!! Best performance i got out of them were at a 2.4 cuft ported box with a 4in port x  6-6.50 in. long on a mean machine 99@2ohms on 1 sub..Ran a pair @1ohms on an old school Audiobahn HCT2200 on each pair,and even tried my HCT A4125 bridged @ 1kx2 @1ohms and later,@4ohms each on a USA US Acoustics Series II 2150,on ea sub.I believe they have a double stacked 220 oz magnet on them.I still have the specs booklet floating around if you need a copy of them..just let me know..But get a good amplifier,and build a box of at the min of a 1.6cu ft ported for the sub..you can not run it sealed..you will end up cooking the voice coils!! My brother did that,and was pretty upset about it..thats when they were $299.99 each new, and later discontinued  going at a lowball price @ $99 bucks! a couple years later..PM me if you need any info on the sub, and I do have an amp to make it bang..be the best $130 shipped amp you will ever buy running @2ohms for that sub,and small foot print<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />[/QUOTE]
