[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8728916, member: 676743"] Sonic says it but then also says 250-600 max rms. I wouldn't run it the full 600 watts all the time [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-153293-Alpine-S-W12D4.html[/URL] And after looking if it was me I think I would have the Hertz they have in the SS12D2 yeah it is 1,000 watts rms but you won't damage a subwoofer with not enough power can always upgrade the amplifier as well down the line to match the rms output. Hertz makes some nice subwoofers as well. Can still run it at 2ohms or 1ohm in the future if you upgrade your amplifier to a 1ohm capable mono-block amplifier.
