Need a new amp

[04MonteSS]

Ok...so one of my Infinity 12" subs was taking to much bass and tore away from the rubber lining. So I returned both of them and got two 12" Audibahn subs, here are the specs on it.

Subwoofer: Features dual four-layer AVS voice coils and stamped steel basket. Works with either a ported or sealed enclosure to deliver the best sound possible for your application. KM3 coated paper cone. 400 watts RMS power. I currently have a 1200 watt Sony amp and that cant deal with the new subs. Can anyone suggest an amp that I can use that will be able to power them?

are the subs dual 4ohm or dual 2ohm

Yeh, what ohms are the speakers and what ohms is the amp stable at?

I believe these are the 12"s he got

The subs are duel 4 ohms and the Sony X-Plod is a 2 channel amp and powers the subs at 200 watts RMS at 4 ohms....or bridge them for 500 watts (dont want that) Does that help ya'll out?

You need an amp that is around 700-800W x 1 RMS @ 4ohms

Good luck finding something like that......

Only buy a mono amp (1 channel) and wire it up to see 4ohms for the best sound.

854W RMS x 1 @ 4ohms Divide this by two and you get 422 rms into each sub

700 x 1 @ 4ohms = 350rms into each sub

Other than that you are not going to find an amp that puts the power you need into it @ 4ohms.... you need to either get one of those or sell the subs and get Dual 2ohm models

And fosgates are underrated as well.
