I had used an audiobahn a800t intake series to power them. Then you should go here www.the12volt.com to answer your questions about ohm's law, and anything else. Then give yourself a price pt(budget). Rule of thumb (well for me) look at the weight of those amps. The heavier the better(usually). I would suggest choosing your woofers 1st then find a sufficient amp to power them |

Bronze Member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 16 Registered: Sep-05 | AHH SUV nice!! So your alternator should be kick a@@. You'll need a good 1. Well I have a hifonics BX1605D paired w/ audiobahn aw121t's (two of them) and thats 1100 watts at 2 ohms. That was well under $600. I had spent $400. To find out whats good or not ask around in this forum. (subwoofer wise) Plus don't forget everybody has their own personal favorite. So'll they will likely throw that into the mix.(me obviously audiobahn) Me if I had that budget I would have to get (2) Audiobahn AW1205N 12" (1) Hifonics BX 2005D Drop those to 1 ohm and boom 2000 watts And yes I mean BOOM |
