Very skilled guys can drive a type R near 1K without issues. But high impedance power costs a lot how about about 2 type R on an audioque 1200d...Much better, way louder for $70 or so more!! |

Turn gain halfWay and depending on your box, you should get many hours of good sound from your sub. Kicker amps are strong! |

If you plan on playing it hard, I would at least get the cooling option or Flatwound coil option (or both). Will increase the thermal power handling. https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn154f47eae051b8e/shopdata/0050 _Speakers/0040_SSD/product_overview.shopscript An audioque hdc3 would also be a good choice, granted you are not going to be putting it in a small prefab enclosure. http://www.audioque.com/HDC312-Copper-Coil-Subwoofer_p_23.html Are you going to be building you're own box? or have a custom box built? a properly built and tuned enclosure is just as important as important as the woofer thats going in it. |
