Ok i just got my 12" type r....and i want to use it if i can......but i only have the amp that i got before i knew anything about car audio a Legacy LA790 "1200" watt amp it does "1200x1 bridged and 600x2"

Now do you guys think i should go ahead and use this amp until i can get money for a directed 1100d.........

How many true watts do you think it would run to the sub if i bridged it?

Oh and will it hurt to try this amp any on this sub?

and i was just lookin at the manual again it says when bridgin the amp that the minimum speaker impedance is 4ohm so can i still bridge this 2ohm sub if u guys tell me if i should use this amp for awhile or not....

well since it's dvc 2 ohm, it would have to be run at either 1 or 4 ohms....and that am bridges at 1200x1@4, so i say it might be a little much....and that amp wont run 1ohm(most likely)...

So i say no, but thats just me...

yes you can bridge it at 4ohms to that sub... its only going to give it 150 rms so i doubt it'll move

yea he can do that, but it also bridges at 4 ohms, which is 1200x1...so i dunno...
