First off, good choice, I always like sticking to Alpine, Precision Power, Rockford, Orion

Now,
The PC2200.2 is a 2 channel that runs 50 watts x 2 into a 4 ohm load, and 200 watts into a 4 ohm mono load.
The question is WHAT kinda of solobarics?!?!?! 4 Ohm solobaric SVC? Dual Voice Coil 4ohm coils?

If you get a SVC 12" solobaric (like what I am selling at Ebay!!) that has a 4 ohm voice coil, then you will get 200 watts RMS, which is a good amount of wattage to turn it up pretty darn high.

Now, to max out your ability, if you look at some of the new Kickers (little more expensive), they have some DUAL VOICE COIL woofers, with two 4ohm voice coil, you then run those in PARALLEL to create a 2 ohm load, and you will probably get 400 Watts RMS out of that amp!!

The new Kicker S12L7 comes in a 2 ohm DVC and a 4 ohm DVC, I do not know if that means COMBINED ohm as in running two 4 ohm voice coils and two 8 ohm voice coils, so check with Kicker first, tell them you want to run a single woofer into a PPI amp at 2 ohms, which means both of those voice coils need to be 4 ohms each. The woofer can handle 400 watts rms.


That PPI can handle a 2 ohm mono load. Has a nice S/N of 110 and a whopping >500 damping factor, very nice.
