I should be getting my new ssd 12 soon and a alpine amp that pushes 1krms at 2 ohms. I was wondering if the sub will handle 1k without any problems. I usually dont have my radio blasting 24/7 (but like to show off for a song or two) and most of the time im listening to rock/metal. It will be in a sealed box and i got no options on it but Hqts. So the real question is can i run the amp all the way up (gains set correctly) or should i run about 3/4 level. Thanks for the help.

gain is NOT a volume control.

Secondly, if it's the PDX amp, u ned to be VERY careful.

If it's the MRD amp, then you will be fine.

I got a buddy that used to run 2 of them off a 2,000w amp properly tuned and they never got hot, we just had to monitor the movement as the box used was ported and built to maximum recommendation which was actually too much for the power we had so the subsonic filter had to be cranked way up to prevent bottoming out.

You may not have that problem as long as the sealed box isn't too large.

^^ I know gain isnt volume control. I ment sub lvl up and gains set correctly.... Sorry if it came out wrong the first time and the amp is a MRP-M1000. And the box is built to specs and will be 1.05 cuft after sub displacement. I figured it would be ok. Figured id get a few opinions from people that have more knowledge in this matter than me. Thanks for the info shizzz

Should be fine.

Just listen to it for bottoming out.

You can always limit the output of an amplifier. So you can put a 10,000 watt amp on that sub and be fine.

^^i realize that. I was asking if 1k rms will be ok on that sub. But I'll keep an eye on it and make sure I'm not pushing it too hard.
