nice sub but not for spl. try a dd 9512 or a dc lv4xl and about 3000w will do do well

~600w RMS at 2 ohm is what that amp will actually do. Hifonics amps are overrated.

300rms overrated though? i didnt think thaaat much. i was thinkin more around 800rms at 2ohms, even though it says 900

those amps do 3/4 of the power they claim at best.... you should have reseached/asked before you bought it

yeah but i heard that they only do 3/4 at the 1 ohm power output. heard the rms ratings were fine for the 2 ohm load.....

M.S. is right, Erik.

Think about it, that amp claims 900rms @ 2 ohms. Thats what it really does at 1 ohm.

So in reality, you are gonna get about 500-600rms @ 2ohm, and thats before box rise, which this amp reacts horribly to.

Your impedance will change xx amount depending on the frequency you are playing, so the power you are receiving will vary. Your ohm load doesn't get lower, only higher. That is what we call box rise.

Not exactly. Amps react differently to it. All in all, you got the wrong amp to run at 2 ohms.

what would you have recommended for 1 12" RE SE at 2 ohm load?
