looks like your putting 200rms on 2 subs if your just looking for 500rms @ 1ohm you dont gotta spend a shit load of money also if you dont know how to set gains DO NOT try an do it your self iv learned the hard way

i agree completely i have learnt the hard way as well on subs more expensive than those RF at least my amp is ok

Subs= SoundQubed HDC3.112 Amps= Audio Technix1200.1, Sony XM4x40 & Clarion XC1410 Rear= Pioneer 6"x9" coaxial Front= Polk 6 1/4 componants Trunk Lid= Pioneer 6 1/4 coaxil Battery= Optima Yellow-top (front) Shrunken 35AH Wire= 0/2 AWG welding Cable! Alternator= 125amps Extra= Continuous duty solenoid

don't rule out "good" used equipment. that can save you some $$ and get a W-A-Y better amp / subs/ etc!!!!

I bought my dd amp used still working great!

My setup,

Digital Designs M80

3 Re audio 10's ported tuned to 36 hz

Kenwood x-696

SHCA 0 gauge

Polk audio coax running off hu

The q-1200 should use 4awg and if you have 2 dual 4ohm subs you can only wire to 4 and 1 ohm. I would get the 1200 and just wire your subs up to 4ohms. That would be much closer to the rms of your subs and be way less of a strain on your electrical.

Edit: also i would not get the hifonics suggested. Cost less yes but no ware near as good of a amp as the sq

^as above

That's why I susgested it

Don't wire to 1 ohm and turn gain down

Do it right

Wire to 4 ohm and gain match it propley

Then Latter when the funds are better you'll be able to upgrade the subs and run 1 ohm final giving to 1200rms to the subs

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34763_Rockford-Fosgate-R750-1D.html I think I might go with this seems to be a perfect fit no? anyone want to point out the pros/cons to this amp? thanks for the help/opinions its much appreciated

I run the 1200w version of this amp and i have to day i do very much enjoy it. But the 750 is 210 for $60 more you can get the soundqubed 1200 and have more power when you decide to upgrade subs already there. Also with going with the bigger amp its current draw will be less at 4ohms.

1 major con of this amp is how the terminals are pointed down at 45 degree angle.
