The way the sub was designed does do it justice as it delivers 1200Watt Maximum power. I currently have mine running of a 1000watt Sony amp and this delivers the best performance (Thanks to the guys @ uplands). It delivers all the deep bass lines you need to enhance your music pleasure and works well with 220watt 6x9's running of a 480watt amp. It's really loud and will get you noticed, plus it looks great when kicking out the bass. At max volume you can feel it shaking the car and believe me I mean shake. Just make sure your wing mirrors are on secure and interior mirror and number plates!!!
