Hifonics Brutus 1200w RMS amp too much?

I bought a hifonics brutus 1200w rms mono block amp to power two kicker cvr 10" subs 2-ohm. The subs are 400w rms each, so 800w rms total per pair. The amp is 1200w rms, is it too much power? what do you recommend? Will it damage the subs? thanks best answer rewarded

nope, that amp is fine... heres why:

your subs are both dual 2 ohms (least you said they are) therefor, your only options are to wire them to 2 ohms, or .5 ohms.. which on that amp, if you have them wired to 2 ohms, it will put out 900 watts rms.. and your subs total add up to 800 watts RMS... and since hifonics amps are over rated, its preolly pushing out more bwteen 700-800 rms

so that amp is fine to go with... it wont harm the subs, just as long as you wire the subs like this:

and this scott guy knows nothing of what he's talking about.. once again, and its distorted, not extorted...

actually, overrated means that it puts out less than what they state, learn the car audio language...pal, and its not called "not clean power" its called clipped signals that cause distortion, pal.

wheres your MECP certification? oh wait, doubt you have one.

im still in HS, so cant go for any degrees yet , but your P.E. gives you barly any help in this area of expertise, such as mecp certification, and also, jl w7s = weak
