i just bought a 1200watt 350rms 12inch JVC sub...

now wondering what amp would b capable to supply power to this??

Bumpstop knows a bit about this kinda stuff im sure..

Anything that supplies around 350wrms will be sufficient.

1200 watt would be a max, or split second power handling rating. You'd want to be putting about 350WRMS, that's Watts Root Mean Squared or in simple terms average constant.

Any amp rated to deliver 350 to 400WRMS will do.

Any more than that and you'll just burn out the voice coil from clipping in no time flat.

thanks for the help

Is it single voice coil, or dual? This will also affect how it is wired up to the amp too.

how do i check that??
dont have a clue

Single voice coil will have one set of connections on the sub
dual voice coil will have two opposite each other

wow just noticed theres too
so its a dual voice coil

what does this mean now??

You'll need to find out what the impedance is of each voice coil.

Then you can figure out how to wire the voice coils up to get the amp to 'see' a certain load.

For example, lets say you have a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub. You can go in series and make it 4 ohm or in parallel and make it 1 ohm.

When chosing your amp, make sure to look at what impedance the power rating is at ie; 400wrms AT 4 ohm for example.

Once you know the impedance of your sub then you can go amp shopping
