this is another viable option...however don't get the dual 2 ohm model of that sub because your only wiring options would be .5(unstable) or 2 ohm(waste of time) final load.

what exactly are you referring to? i clearly said it wired to .5 or 2ohms...both poor choices for the amp you suggested since .5 would destroy the capacitors and 2 ohm would under power the subs by 300 watts.

You don't need to hit peak of the subs, all you need to do is make sure the RMS is correct, if you want a clean system you don't have to worry about peak.

Nevermind just read amp specs.

...i'm so lost. how does running 1200rms subs@900rms watts have anything to do with what you just said?

just seen edit. i assume you thought it was 1200rms@2ohm right?

yes lol.. then i saw it was 900 rms at a 2-ohm load.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6523_Hifonics-BXi-2006D.html <-- 1,300 at 2 ohm load
