    and go to specs and features and it tells you what the RMS and Total is

    It looks like it says 600RMS 1100 max for 1. So 1200 for both?

    Also that box is a huge one note wonder.

    ok. ive read a quite a few articles over the years about sub amp combos and a few come to mind that would make your choices a lil easier. that way you dont have to worry about building or paying to have one built.


    infinity makes a sub/box combo that scored high in testing,although you would have to get an amp. anything around 300~400 watts will do fine.

    orion ,and fusion also came to mind. both scored well in good solid bass output and not breaking the bank either.

    ok i cant find any orion or infinity combos.

    you could look into powerbass subs and amps. very inexpensive and good quality. you will have to have a box made tho.

    i heard one once and it didnt disappoint. with only 250 or so watts.

    I got a Kenwood 9152 amp for sale...This is a class D mono amp...500 watts RMS to 4 ohms....900 rms to 2 ohms...1 ohm stable. I believe it is 900 rms to 1 ohm...I have used it for a couple of weeks...I am switching to a 4 channel amp...You can see pictures of it in the forum with stuff for sale...

    It has a bass boost knob that remotely mounts...freq and gain control for the bass boost...amp is in excellent shape..

    they are not 1100 watt subs. if you must run those, a quality 500~600 watt rms amp will power them to their limit.

    by quality i mean a reputable name brand, not an expensive brand.

    Power Handling:
    Peak: 1100 watts
    RMS: 600 watts

    that is for both subs together.
