[QUOTE="lionfamlee, post: 7620104, member: 631622"] In a nutshell, it should sound ok. You need to do some research. You subs are rated at 300 watts RMS and 600 watt peak. I would recommend that you wire them down to 2ohm. The amp you mentioned is 2 ohm stable and rated at 870 watts at 2 ohms. So it will work based on numbers. The amp is not very efficient. As far as the enclosure goes, prefab boxes will do the job as long as it meets your subs specs. Research that portion. If you can get a enclosure built by someone I would go with that roue. Enclosures that are made specifically for a sub(s) will sound much much better. Will it be loud? That is subjective. Are you going for SPL or SQ? I would think SPL based on what you have. Make sure you do not just crank up your gain on the amp because it is not loud enough or increase the bass boost to high. A lot of the time when people do this they increase the amount of dirty distorted power to the sub(s). Get a enclosure built with a slot port, make sure they tune the box for your car and subs. Even the best subs will sound like crap if the enclosure is not built right. You ever wonder why someone will be running two 12"s and another person will only be running one 12" with the same amount of power, but the guy or gal with one 12" is louder...it's the enclosure that made the difference. So many other choices out there even on a limited budget. Most people in here can give you better choices. [/QUOTE]
