Looking to run 2 Sundown SA 12's at 4 ohms on this amp. Does that sound legit?

Thats alot of power for just two sa 12s

You can run those sa's either at 4 ohms or 1 ohm on that amp with the gain set appropriately, however, the size of your enclosure will play a part on how much power you intend to feed them.

I would like to stay at 4 ohms so I will not overpower them. This amp makes 1500-2000watts rms at 4 ohms shouldn't that be ok if my box is on the small side?

Get an SAZ-1500D for like half the price...

Once your gain is set appropraitely you should have no problem.

Agreed, unless you plan to upgrade subs later.

OK thanks Sonic. I have the Rockford amp just want to get 2 12's that handle 1500-2000watts total. Would a TC Sounds LMS-r be a better choice than the SA's if I was looking for SQL?

Dont have any exp with that tc but most people stay away from the new tc's.
I would recommend:

2 of this XCON 12 Sound Solutions Audio 12" 1750W XCON Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE

or

2 of this Sundown Audio Z v3 12" Sub woofer 1500W RMS Subwoofer - SSA STORE

or

sonics on the right track but better yet get on the pre-order for the sundown x-12 $300 each and conservative rated 1250rms each

I had a set of sa's in 2cube each tuned to 32 on 2500 daily no issues

I love how the Sundown Z's sound. I was considering them for my next build but everyone I know powers them with around 2,000 watts each. Would a pair of Z's still hit hard at 750w rms each? I prefer the bass to be loud even at lower volume on the headunit too that's why I think the SA's will be a better choice on the power I'm planning on running (1500w rms at 4 ohms).

 

[Sonic. 10+ year member]

Thought you were going to go down to 1 ohm, hence why I suggested the higher rms subs.

With 1500 watts rms, I would do the ssa gcon's or the sa's. The gcons would be my first choice in this application.

You could probably run the SA's on that RF 2500.1, but it seems like a bit much. Like prior in this thread, I'd change up your subs. I love both that amp and those subs, but I'm sure it could be better for the power and money.

i'm running my sa12's off of a saz2000 and they sound great, my box is 4 cubes at 31.5 hz
