a 400 watt 2 channel amp should do fine. all you need to do is bridge the sub when it is being hooked up

How many watts would you need to power two 10 inch kickers?
on my 10" L7s I have a 600 Watt amp on them but iv red 1 sub can take 800 Watts all day an peak out at 1200 for short periods of time.
1200 watts is equal to how many amps?
To calculate amps, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. The formula to convert watts to amps is Amps = Watts / Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 1200 watts would be equal to 10 amps (1200 watts / 120 volts = 10 amps).
You have 2 subwoofers at 400 watts RMS each Do you need an amplifier of 800 watts RMS?
no you dont There are a couple of options. you can buy a 2 chanel with 400W rms per chanel, or a mono at 800w. make sure you match the ohms of you speakers with you amp. If your amp is 800w rms at 2ohm, it's 400w rms at 4 ohms. So if your speakers are 4 ohms, they wouldn't be getting the power they need. And remember you can blow speakers by under powering them, but not by over powering them.

How much money would a 400w heater use per hour?
To calculate the cost per hour for a 400W heater, you need to know the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) charged by your utility company. For example, if the rate is $0.12 per kWh, a 400W heater would use 0.4 kWh per hour (since 400W = 0.4 kW). Multiplying 0.4 kWh by $0.12 gives you a cost of $0.048 per hour to run the 400W heater.
What kind of amp do you need if you have 2 12 inch subwoofers that have an rms rating of 250 watts each?
To power your speakers, and to ensure that your amp has enough power to power your subwoofers, you would need at least an amp of 750 watts true power.
How thick would acrylic have to be to withstand an internal force of approximately 1200 psi?
To withstand an internal force of 1200 psi, the acrylic would need to be at least 1 inch thick. Acrylic typically has a tensile strength of around 10,000 psi, so a 1-inch thickness would comfortably handle the 1200 psi force.

Can you use a 1000 watt wiring kit for a 1200 watt amp?
do amps get pushed? Normally a 1200 watt amp would need driving with less than 12 watts of audio.
How many watts for mono amp with 2 subs?
Add together the Wattage of the subs. Eg: 200W each sub = 400W amp.However, that's not the only thing to consider. You have to take into account the impedence(ohms) and how you're going to wire them.Let's assume your subs are both rated at 200W and 4 ohms.Wired in series you will need an amp capable of 400W @ 8 ohms.Wired in parallel you will need an amp capable of 400W @ 2 ohms.Those are two very different amps!It's much easier to find an amp capable of working at 2 ohms than it is to find an amp that will work at 8 ohms and give you any kind of power.Another thing to consider is(and this is my rule of thumb, not an absolute law that must be followed) that an amp, should be 30% more powerful than the speakers it is driving. So that 400W I mentioned at the begining shouldbe more like 500W.If you take your speaker specs(Watts & Ohms) to your local dealer and tell him/her you want to wire them in parallel they can figure out what your power requirements are and help you pick a suitable amp.
How many amps does a device need?
The amps required for a device depend on its power consumption. You can calculate the amps by dividing the power rating (in watts) by the voltage (in volts) of the device. For example, a 1200 watt device plugged into a 120-volt outlet would require 10 amps (1200 watts / 120 volts = 10 amps).
