Will this sub in a ported box at 800 watts be louder than 2 mtx terminators at 200 watts a piece?

It depends, with a nice big ported box tuned to 35hz this thing will eat 2 mtx lol

Yes, you will be impressed if you are replacing the mtx. Different class of sub completely. And you CAN run this sub either sealed or ported as I have done both. You get way more output in ported though. This sub doesn't have to be run ported though, but it comes alive in a ported enclosure.

no.. it will be under powered.. even if the sub were a dual 8 ohm, the lowest you could wire it is 4 ohm, then you'd still be getting half power. Sell your sub because unless you're going to run 3 of them or more, an 8 ohm is pretty useless. The other repliers obviously have no idea what they're talking about so I hope you didn't buy this amp for that sub haha

I power this sub with a 500 watt max mono kicker amp. These subs can handle more in my opinion so far since I've had it

it will pound the one sub, i have it bridged out to two 12 inch 1,000 watt each MM audiotek subs with x over and it sounds real nice

Basically depends on the rest of your system and its output. The amp drives more wattage through a 2 ohm sub, so you need to balance what you want. Also, be aware of the sub's rms limts, since it's easy to run this amp at full rms output because of its very low distortion. I run an Infinity Kappa 10" sub set for 2 ohms in a custom enclosure, and it absolutely pounds the bottom end! Hope this helps.

IMO not at all, these things love power and it takes a lot to get one of these things to really move, I have mine in a custom ported box and it takes 1200 watts rms with ease. its spyder and suspension are pretty stiff considering it's more of an SQ sub. definitely reccommend getting something more powerful for it.

At 2ohms this amp puts out around 1200 watts, those subs are probably rated at 400 rms each, if you set the gains right you should be okay but id go with the brx 1200

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

I have my 2 on a boss onyx 4500..i think its 2100 rms...ported box..sounds great..

I'm almost positive it's 250 rms bridged. It sounds pretty awesome paired with a Rockford sub and ported box. If you use a sealed box, it's a little underwhelming

Just from my experience these subs don't work in a ported box. Maybe they just weren't working in my box but I ended up making a new sealed box and they beat pretty hard for 50 bucks a piece.

There are many variables to consider when building boxes that affect sub performance, but without those to consider there are a few things you can plan with. Your subs can be wired together (assuming they are single voice coil) at either 2 ohms or 8 ohms, with 2 ohms being the better choice for this amp. At this resistance the amp will work very well, providing up to 500 watts RMS (much under the rating of your subs)

It should be plenty, especially with two subs!I have one sub with a little less power going to it and am very pleased with it.Have fun experimenting, I think that is the best part!

The planet audio ac4000.1D would give you the deep bass and sound that u want to perform for your 12 mtx terminator thank you Amazon......

Nothing above 600 watts rms or nothing above a reg 1200 watt amp per sub.but watch wiring the sub notice if amp is momo or 2 ohm stable when bridged if not you mite blow amp or speaker if wired wrong parallel or in series. YouTube has great videos on wiring a 8ohm speaker

Depends on how much power you are putting into the system. I have two of these on an AQ1200. But they could take more. If you want more volume at lower rms, use two subs. Double cone volume-> 3db, double rms-> 3db. 6db I'd twice as loud to the human ear. As far as sound quality I think these aren't the most accurate subs but they definitely could be a lot worse. If you listen to lots of rap and boomy sounding bass, go with this sub, ported at 35hz in 1.5 to 2 cubic ft of box

Ok, so the sub is 500W RMS and 4 ohms. That means that your amp will be sending it 350W. You will have 300W going to each of the "200W" 8's and 350W going to the sub. It should be fine unless you are over-driving the 8's - on music, there shouldn't be a problem.
