[QUOTE="Type699, post: 2188842, member: 570296"] A friend of mine runs a x1200.1 on a single sledgehammer 10. He's had it for about 2 years now, and no problems. I think you'd be ok running a 600 on a 12" sledge. I am punishing a 12" 4-ohm sub rated at 150w RMS with my x600.1. It's very clean power. All I had was a 30 amp fuse for it, and it hasn't blown yet. I had it running full tilt for about 12 hours when I was camping a couple weekends ago. Nobody can believe it's only 600w on a single 12" sub. A friend of mine has 1200w on a couple 12's was really impressed. He offered to trade his sub setup for mine, even up. Watch for them on the forums. I paid $165 shipped for my x600.1 The problem you're up against is that you have a single 12" 4 ohm sub. You can either get a bigger Class D amp and run it at 4 ohms, which is like paying for a Corvette and only being able to drive it as fast as a Aveo. Or you can get an amp like the PG Xenons or the JL 250/1, 500/1 that'll do the same power output into any load. Or you can run a Class A/B amp at 4 ohms bridged mono, but then if/when you upgrade in the future, you'll need a new amp. Same situation I was in. x600.1 solved it for me. Then if I upgrade subs in the future, I am still going to get 600 watts out of it, and I really don't care about the voice coil configuration of the subs, which can be very nice for end of year clearance sales...
