I recently purchased this amp along with the MTX TNE212D. Could these subs safely handle a more powerful amp or is this about all it can handle?

That's about all it can handle, if I turn my amp all the way up and all the way up on my radio it starts sounding bad

No you will burn up the subs from underpower.the boss amp is 250 RMS @2 ohms.look for a amp that is 400 watts RMS. The mtx is rated 400 @2 ohms its a single channel. So you need a monoblock like lanzar htg157

You can only wire your subs 1 or 4 ohms with dual 4ohm voice coils. If dual 2 ohm you can can .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. 1 ohm this amp will put out way over what you subs can handle. I have 2 12s on this amp wired at 2 ohm load and slams hard. My subs are 2,200 peak and im pushin 1,500 r.m.s. to each sub in ported box tuned to 38 hz. For your subs id either find a smaller amp thats around 1,000-1,200 rms at 1ohm or get different subs. This amp is no joke and is a beast

This amp is more than sufficient and is actually to powerful. So make sure you keep it turned down to protect your speakers from blowing. I have this amp running 2 15 hifonic brutis speakers and it is still almost to much power. I have a 8 ferit cap and it still makes my lights flicker a little bit when it's really pulling.

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

I am not sure,couldn't find a wattage handling of those subs.I use it to push one 8 inch pyle driver tube sub.If I had two I probably would get a 400-600 watt amp...I have a friend that uses it to push two subs on a ski boat,and it sounds great,of course it doesn't take a whole lotto make boat speakers sound good,but compared to other boats it's better to me...

I run a mtx jackhammer on mine in 2ohms running 600 RMS all the time. This sub will take the power. You willve working that amp. It will push the sub...but maybe for about 4-6 months before heating issues take its toll. It will work...but I would put a mono or 2 Chanel amp.

This is the best amp I have owned. I don't think it would have any trouble with that at all. The quality is fantastic!

You need at smaller amp, this is to much power for you single sub, I got this amp with two vm audio 12 ',3000 watts each one, this amp got enough power to hit very hard my subs, imagine your single sub, will blow out

This amp should power them just fine. It just wouldn't be to the speakers' full potential. I believe this amp is only rated at 1300 watts rms which would be a little shy of the 1600 combined that the subs would use To reach that full potential. Of course if you don't want to risk blowing out your subs, being just shy of the speakers rms rating would be ideal.

You can definitely run your 2 subs whit this amp if they ate dual cabinets youll have a 2 omhs load per side which is fine. Then youll need another amp tobrun your tops. If you run you'll compete rig with this amp is not recomended cause youll have an 2 ohms load which is not recomended for this type of amp. It also depends in your gear's specs.

Not sure. But the BRX1600D is a beast for the money. Just be sure to have your LEVEL set properly, making sure the Volts match your head unit's output. Having it too high will destroy your speakers like its nothing. This amp isn't the cleanest sounding amp but if you dial it in correctly its all you need for your sub's.

This little puppy can handle the sub as long as it is feed the required amperage. I would run it at a 1 ohm load. Which is how I have my subs set up. Blew first set of subs. Got more expensive pair, installed a Batcap and not a problem yet. This amp loves the power. Will definitely push the sub. You couldn't ask for a better amp for the price.

I have an alpine mrv-m500 amp that gives 500 RMS at 2 ohms. It still hits hard and sounds great. But as long as the amp can handle a 2 ohm load and has at least 600 RMS your fine I would check out some amps on here that have those specs and I only have one sub not two!!!

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

These subs have a much higher power handling. If you hook up your amp correctly with 4 ga. Wire and set up you lpf and gain correctly these will bump harder than kickers but required more watts. I have two hooked up to a 2400 watt mono class d amp and people here me coming a block away!
