That'd be your best bet right there.That's a hell of a deal for that amp.

That will show you how to wire them up. And It's real easy to wire it up too. Make sure you have an upgraded electrical system to power this too.

its not terribly hard, but if you dont feel confident or comfortable doing it, have an installer do it.

i recomend jbl's 1200.1. GREAT inexpensive amp. it is one ohm stable, but i'd run it at 2 since you have that option. each sub needs to be wired in series, and then both subs in parrallel to the amp...that will give you a 2 ohm load to the amp. i'll look up some diagrams later if no one else beats me to it, to show you exactly how to do it. some of these terms might be mumbo jumbo to you. also, there is a trick with JBL BP Power series amps...basically you have to fill up the RCA slots on the amp to get full power out of it...its weird. just go to radio shack and buy some rca splitters to do so...$5 splitter, takes 30 seconds to put in. here is my trusty old diagram i made over a year ago! still have it.

edit: i cant upload it due to the restrictions....600x280 is pretty small admins. i know we dont have much space tho. i can email it to you later if u end up going that route and need the diagram. in the past we've tried to explain this process to people, but everyone always gets confused, so i made a diagram.

I'm not that knowledgable about wiring amps and things so how would you wire a one channel amp into 2 subwoofers.

i havent used pg in about 8-9 years and back then it kicked ass....these days i hear good and bad....

With a high end amp does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of ratings the subs would make??

And I see that you guys have replied with the very high end amps... what about something like a Pheonix Gold amp or something on the lines of that??

JBL 1200.1--x2

Stable at 1ohm, can be had off ebay cheap. Even if you do have a real crappy amp, maybe you could rebuild yourself a ported box. That would cost round $30. I’m sure in a well built ported box they would be loud of 600-800 watts. If you’ve already have a good box, look into jbl BP lines, lots of ppl use Hifonics with luck. I think Sinister Audio is a dealer for them, and could get you hooked up.

Audiobass runs a profile amp, and he's had success with that, so if you want just cheap power go that way.

You could look for a couple JBL 600.1's. I am pretty sure they are stable at 1 ohm. Or a JBL 1200.1 that would work too. 1200W at 2 ohms. Just cheap clean power.

about 900? elevation dx1500.1 ....................1200 watts at 2 0hm

by swimmerdude » Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:01 pm

The subs are about 3 years old so maybe they dont make the 2-ohm anymore. If it takes spending more that $600 on an amp or two.... ill think about it because i know these things can be soo much louder than they are.
