No need to scare and worry one..... Just buy it and try it out.... If the amp can't support, it will shutdown only....

if the amp can't support, they will not shutdown...u only got distortion of sound...unless the amp got failure by power loss, short circuit, thermal problem then the amp will shutdown internal power if they got protection features.

yes, most 2ch amp can support 12inch subwoofer with correct power rating.

4ch amp got 4 channels
- can run 4 speakers
-or can run 1 sub and 2 speakers

2ch amp got 2 channels
- can run 2 speakers
- or can run one woofer

yes a 2ch can run a 12inch sub, but u must check the RMS watt of the sub first, and then check the rms watt of the 2ch amp in "bridged mono" mode

if the numbers are close, then can la...

serious suggestions?

caliber is just another china chicken brand... even if its the europe genuine caliber... its still consider between the range of our pegasus(and the gang) over there...

so with RM180... it wont be a europe goods la... this one every one knows already... its a china sub... all you can do is, get a sealed box for it, 1.2cuft to 1.5cuft(i choose these size because these are normal size for average subs) see if it sounds good... if it sounds good, your amp is happy being coupled together with it... then close your eyes and buy it...

but if your eyes still see the RM180 is not worth it... then keep it in your wallet... save up... and buy a great sub with a great box... smile.gif

cheers.gif

p/s: not turning this thread into a chatting thread... but seriously dude... there is honestly not much opinion to talk about on threads like this... its like i wear L size but should i buy XL size?

buy a 4ch amp la, so u can power your front components as well as your sub.

check how many RMS Watt is your sub first, that 1000W is probly max output.

im guessing its rms is only around 250-300W, so if u can find a 75x4 amp should be ok, 100Wx4 even better.
