I have a "12" Cerwin Vega its the older style its never been hooked up what amp should I use to power it?

 

Model Number, Ohms ?


More details... budget? Space?

 

choose a brand you like, that offers an rms output appoximately the same as what your sub is rated for.

 

Woofer: 12"

Nominal Impedance: 4 or 8 OHMS

Sensitivity: 94 DB

Power Handling: 400W(RMS) 800W(MAX)

Frequency Response: 20 - 500 Hz

 

Thanks some people have told me to run monster amps like zapco ppi and us

 

Any 2 channel mono amp that when bridged provides between 200 and 450 w rms into 4 ohms or any mono amp that does not exceed the same rating into 4 ohms. The benefit to a mono amp is that it will allow you to add a second identical sub or replace the old one you have with two new ones at a later date without buying a new amp. The 2 channel for the most part will equal buying a new amp.

 

I have a Fosgate P8004 amp will that work good with the sub or no ?

 

yes it will work.

 

I think that amp bridges 2 channels to 400 watts @ 4ohms. Perfect, for your sub, and you can use the other 2 channels for your front speakers.
