I was also looking at getting a Hertz Amp to power this sub the amp that I am looking at is the Hertz EP 2 X 700w amplifier here are the tech specs for the amp.


Channel Model 2-1
Output power
(RMS @ 14.4 VDC, THD 1% 220W x2 (4oms)
700W x1 (4oms)
350W x2 (2oms)
Distortion- THD (100Hz@4oms) 0.05%
S/N Ratio (A weighted @ 1v) 100dB
Dampening Factor (100 Hz@4oms) 130
Size (mm) 240 x450 x54

Ok now that is out of the way here is the brass of my question. Is this amp strong enough to push that woofer or do I need to go to a higher rated one? Also will the factory head unit be able to handle this? If it is can some one tell me where I can buy these I have been looking online and have not been able to find a place that sells them. I live in Yuma, AZ is there a sound shop in SD that can do the install on a camaro I don’t really trust any place in Yuma to do it right. all of this would be put into a 2LT thanks for any help.
