Do I need crossover for subs?

I just bought subs and i need your help with an AMP?

  • I have the new JBL GTO1204BP-D The info is: 1200 watts 600 watts RMS (300 WATTS RMS Per Sub) Bandpass enclosure with GTO Series 12" polypropylene woofer Medium density fiberboard construction with front-firing slot vent Plexiglas front window Built-in white LED internal lighting Plexiglas front window 4-ohm impedance I am in need of information on what would be the proper amp to use. I have been looking at HIFONICS BX1608: * 600 WATT Mono Block Class "D" Monster Subwoofer amplifier * 600 x 1 RMS @ 1 ohm * 1 ohm stable * 300 watts @ 2 ohms * Mosfet power outputs * RCA Outputs * Advanced Class "D" Setup * Built in all new BXI sound controls to control Bass EQ, Subsonic Filter, Low-Pass Xover & Phase Shift control * All new efficient Heatsink Design * Hifonics Logo Illuminates in bright neon blue illumination * Power and Protection LED indicator * Gold RCA Inputs with level control * Built in advanced crossover system * Balanced line inputs * Soft Start Turn on for extra long lasting amplifier protection * Subsonic bass filtration system * RCA Line outputs for daisy chaining 2 amps together to run twice as much power * Low Pass Filter: 35 - 250 Hz * Requires 4 Gauge amp kit (available in our ebay store) * Bass Boost: 0 - 18 dB * Phase Shift: 0 - 180 degrees * Amp stays cool with built in ventilation * 24 dB Subsonic Filter (15 - 35 Hz) * Dimensions: 9.84" L x 9.45" W x 2.52" H * Fuse Rating: 60A I don't know that much about amps and the only concern I have is that this amp is mono and only 1 ohms and the subs are 4ohms (Please let me know if this amp would work because it is affordable and highly recommended product!) If anyone knows a lot more about this please help. I would appreciate any suggestions or information you could share. Micah B.

  • Answer:

    LIKE I SAID EARLIER IF YOU HAVE TWO SUBS AND WIRE THE 4 OHM SUBS IN PARALELL AND GET A 2 OHM LOAD IT WILL ONLY DO 300 RMS 150X2 FROM THE SPECS STATED, YOU NEED TO FIND AN AMP THAT PUTS OUT THE RMS YOU WANT AT TWO OHMS, THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER.....NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU ASK IT, THE KICKER ZX AMPS DELIVER GOOD POWER AT 2 OHMS......LOOK ON EBAY
