Will i regret this? (feeding my sub a crazy amount of power)

[ls1pimp 10+ year member]

I have a RL-P Dual 2 Ohm (runs at 1 ohm) sub in a 1.03 cu ft sealed box, and was gonna run it off of a Nine.1 amp. Is this setup going to be ok, or should i have gotten 2 subs for that amount of power?

Ya gotta love that copy/paste function.

You are the master of it

small sealed box = more power handling

yeah i knew all that already. However, my amp will be putting out every one of those 1200 watts in my setup, maybe even more. Is it a bad choice to daily run an RL-P 12 inch with 1200> watts though?

I just get worried when i see people with 1000 watt amps and 2 RL-P's, meanwhile my single RL-P will be getting like 1300 watts off of that amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I looked at my friend's MTX 9500 and than at my RL-P, and i am just worried. The RL-P is a nice looking sub, but it just doesn't have the beefy tank look like the MTX does, and i wanna make sure it can take that amount of power regularly without hassle.

It Will Be Fine, Run The D@mn Amplifier.

amp won't be sending 1200rms all the time due to either your electrical system, impedance rise, AND volume knob
