Is that the 12d 2 ohm 1200 watt rms sub? Also what is your budget for amp(s)?

yes they are the 12d ohm 1200 watt rms models and the budget is not really a problem also what is the best way to go about wireing the subs i currently have them + to + and - to - at the terminals and then each sub bridged on the 4 channel amp down to two channels is this the best setup ? thanks

You could look into a JBL BL1200.1. It will run 1200 Watts RMS at 1 ohm or 2 ohms. That would be 600 watts RMS per sub, which is what they are rated at.

I agree the JBL would be great but I am also quite attached to the Lightning Audio amps. As long as I have been using them they have powered all my subs to the max.

do you think that an orion amp might work out better due to the digital refreance amps that orion makes i am not all that formilar with jbl or lightning audios products other than i have herd that they produce good product ,but i have also herd that orion amps produce enormus constant power .
