I have an Orion 1200D amplifier and I was going to get an Orion 10" H2 dual 2 ohm subwoofer to hook up to it. Will this amp be enough power? I don't have the room to fit the huge 2500D so its either the 1200 or nothing.
Enough power for what? To drive the speaker? Of course it's enough. To create competition-level SPL? Maybe, but probably not. What's the enclosure?

Support the12volt.comFor DYohn's question- the power for competition-level SPL. I figured probably not. With the design being some what different than anything I've ever seen in such a small truck I was hoping I might have a small chance. Not looking to win any huge comps, just wanting to compete. Its going into a ported enclosure ( .75 cu. ft. ) and the speaker will of course have the dual voice coils wired in parrallel to operate the sub at 1ohm since the amp is going to be run at 1200 x 1@ 1 ohm. I've heard of people running this exact same amp to bigger H2's (12's and 15's), but never heard what they thought about it... I can't fit anything bigger so I thought that going with the 10" H2 would make me more than satisfied.
For kirktcashalini that's real funny! I realize now what that sounds like! I meant if it wasn't enough power with the 1200 then I wouldn't even bother hooking that sub to it.
By the way, I know that ported box sounds small but I've already had a discussion about this in another thread... This is what Orion suggests with a 1500 watt amp setup and I figured that 1200 is pretty close... If I'm way off then please correct me. The dimensions of the box seem right. 16.5"W x 13.25"D x 14"H. The box and port are specifically made for this sub, but they do make boxes bigger than .75 cu. ft. for one 10" H2.... I did think that was weird. I would think that Orion knows what their talking about when they recommend certain enclosure sizes for their subs. Any help clearing this up would be much appreciated!
