help me pick an amp for 12" XXX

Post by lotas »

k I have a 12" XXX in a sealed box. It's dual 2ohm cause RE messed up my order :-/ anyways so I need either a mono amp which will give me over a thousand watts at 1 ohm or a stereo amp which will give me 1000watts at 2ohm...

Amps im looking at so far are :
kicker kx 1200.1
orion 1000d

any help would be appreciated, or any opinions on the above amps, thanks.

What's your price range? ARc Audio has a few amplifiers that would suit your needs, but that is if you are willing to pay for high-end equipment. One give 1050 at 4 ohm bridged (which your sub can do) and the other gives 2500 at 1 ohm. The 2500 may be a little overkill, but the XXX's can take a real beating.
