How many watt amp would you get with 2 12 inch subs?

I mean, without going way overboard, and at the same time, getting good sound.

...i gotta strickt budget :paranoid: hehe

I ran 2 12's with a 200 watt amp bridged. It sounded pretty okay, but I have a 300 watt amp now that should be make it above average. Anything above 300 or 350 I'm pretty sure you'd need a higher wattage alternator.

(BTW: Before you buy anybrand new stuff, go to your pawn shops. I picked up my 300watt for 50 bucks. its really clean (sound wise) and in good condition. Pawn shops rock!)

you need to tell us which 12s you'll be running.

Im running 2 kicker 12"s on a Thunder 8302. Its about a 500 watt constant amp regardless of what the box says :) i have no probs with my alternator :)

Which Kickers? The power ranges anywhere from about 100-750 watts peak RMS.

Look at the power rating, max RMS. As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't try and run less than half that, RMS @ 12V. Doing so could damage the woofer. However, getting extra power capacity and not maxing out your system components will make them last longer and sound better.

They're the old school round Single Voice coil Solo-barics

Ive got no problems with them, they sound fine, and they are in good shape.

i got 1 Rockford 12" with a 300 watt amp and it kicks pretty damn HARD. Harder than my friend with 2 12"s

OpakRacing: WHAT TYPE OF 12's?? Sealed, bandpass or ported box?
