I use one 12", and it blew on 380 watts to one channel. It was because only powered one channel is what everyone is telling me though. I'm in the process of getting a Audiobahn H1300HCQ or a JBL 1200.1 and a new box. I think they can handle alot though.

Yes, I only powered one coil. I had people tell me it would work fine, and that they have it done, so I did it, didn't work. The guy at the stereo store said he hadn't even thought about that before, I told him not to try it. Thank *** for :hail:warranties, thats all I gotta say
