What kind of power are people putting to these? Any reviews or anything to help me out? Wanting to do 2 aq 1200's strapped. Is that to much power?

Way too much. The sub is only rated at 600 rms and only a 2.5" coil.

At most I'd put is 1500 to one, but even that's really pushing it. I run about 900 or so to each of my VVX 10s.

If you are wanting to run 2400 watts, I'd look into a much beefier subwoofer, definitely at least a 3" coil.

Sorry just read my post over, I wanted two aq 1200s on 2 skar vvx 15's not one. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Ohhh lol, yeah you should be fine with those on those subs as long as you don't send a clipped signal. If they do get hot, just back off the gain a bit.

They look like a good sub. And I have heard people over powering them but didnt know by how much. Thanks

How do you go about reconing these? Im use to reconing subs with a dust cap and see that the VVX has no dust cap so any advice?

I completely understand the disadvantage of running 2 AQ1200D's strapped, but what is the advantage vs just running the AQ2200D at 1ohm?

Running two 1200's Im hoping to get a little more power but honestly its probably going to eventually be one amp. Something like an aq2200 or saz2500. I just got a good deal on the 1200's local so thats what im doing right now.

I have a skar 12 that I'm running 1600 watts on 1ohm and it's been taking it great no issues at all the sub only gets a little warm after playing for a long time. I think you'll be fine as long as you don't clip the signal

 

[quackhead 10+ year member]

by all means, if you can do 2 1200's for a lot less than 1 2200, then do it. As far as power, you might squeeze another 10% over 1 2200D....that would be like maybe a .5 db gain on a meter, all else being equal. I seriously doubt you would be able to detect the difference by ear though.

I'd say snag a recone kit from SPLAudio with some modified parts, running my vvx15 off the SK1500.1 (not sure on box rise since it was a daily beater and it changed) I had it running on 1ohm (1690rms) in an 8.5cft box, the coil is still copper, still reads 2.3/2.4 per coil, but I do have to say, my spiders are kind of soft? they're not all that stiff (if this means the break in point)

Keep in mind Visceral was running more than double rated power in a box that is more than double recommended size. With a box that big, he should be running half power (300-400).
