i just bought a pair of eclipse 88120DVC's (12" aluminums)what amp(s) would you guys suggest using? and i am also getting an aftermarket headunit but i'm leaving all the mid's that are factory what head unit would you suggest

 

I have a pair of Eclipse 88150DVCs (15" aluminums) that I powered with a Soundstream Rubicon 1002 1000W 2-channel amp. It worked out perfectly since the subs are 500W RMS each. Definetly a competition sound setup. I am looking to sell the audio stuff since I now have a new car. E-mail me at speedemn@idirect.com and we can talk about my amp.

 

I have an xtant amp in my new car, and I am really happy with it. It sounds great, but it can also get costly. About how many watts do you want?

 

You should check out Pheonix Gold, JL Audio, or MTX amps that are around 500 watts, you should only need around a 500 watt amp, I was running a 500 watt Pheonix Gold amp on two competion JL Audio 15's and I was shaking car mirrors on cars that were in two lanes over.

 

i want an amp that is capable of powering these subs but i'm on a tight budget. what is an amp that is inexpensive but not lacking power... also i need to buy a box i was told that a seald MDF box is the best for these subs is that true? and does size of he box make much of a diffeence if so whats is the ideal size

 

I am currently running 600w RF on my 12" eclipse but I suggest more wattage. 800w rms or better.
