C.Jackson Unregistered guest | You will not need another amplifier, it is perfect for the two S12L5's. The subwoofers max is a number you shouldn't go by, you should go by the RMS rating which is 600 watts. So 600x2 is 1200 RMS watts and the amp is rated at 1200 watts RMS at 1 ohm. First, make sure your subwoofers are DVC 4 ohm, because if they aren't you will kill your amplifier. You need to wire your subwoofers in parallel, I added a picture below if you don't know how.... http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard/2_4ohmDVC_1ohm.gif |
