I hooked two of these to my kenwood 7203 wich is rated at 175 x2 at 4 ohm and 220 at 2ohm this amp is under rated and pound the heck out of these subs. Great bass and shakes my house and the people next door already got the cops called on me. You have two get these Kenwood subs. Like they say here in Missouri: if it not pine it not mine, if its not wood its no good, if it not Sony its phoney. I highly recomend this subs to anyone.

This sub sounds clean and gives good bass in the right box. Had mine in a sealed 1.0 and it was great if your getting just one. I would recommend the kenwood kac-1502s from this site, it's a tiny beast.
