Got a Free Sub - no idea what to do next
So my buddy gave me his 12" Orion HP12D2. From what I can tell its a decent sub but I have no knowledge when it comes to Car Audio. What kind of amp do I need to power just this one sub? Also does the box need to be a certain depth or can I just buy one of these and have my buddy (owns a wood shop) open it up to a fit to fit a 12"?

LOL afternoon!
There are many choices as far as what amp to get. First off is the sub dual voice coils (DVC) or single? This will help me get an idea of what amp you need. Also what kinf of budget are you looking to spend? Keep in mind if your running a factory radio that you will need a LOC to give you a low level input or if your new amp has speaker level inputs you can use them as well.

Hey bigaudio!! Glad to see your still modding your altima. Alright now for the sub: it has "2.5" Dual 2 ohms voice coils on aluminum former". I really dont want to spend too much. I want that box that I linked, but the amp I wouldn't want to spend more than 200 tops. Doing this mostly cuz the bass was free haha. Also running factory Infiniti G37 Boss system cuz its impossible to install an aftermarket unit in that dang thing.
Edit: Quick copy and paste of its info- 12" Dual 2 ohms HP Series Subwoofer Power Handling: Peak: 1000 watts RMS: 500 watts Impedance: Dual 2 ohms Metalized polypropylene cone woofer NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) surround Open Loop motor that utilize a vented hybrid magnet structure which dramatically increases airflow through the speaker Die-cast aluminum basket Doesn't require large enclosure volume Custom designed reversible wrap gasket and protective magnet boot Heavy gauge wire terminals 2.5" Dual 2 ohms voice coils on aluminum former Frequency response: 30-2500 Hz Sensitivity: 87 dB

Thanks glad someone is showing some love for the altima In the case of your budget there are two amps I recommend. Just make sure you wire it in 4 ohm configuration! WoofersEtc.com - BRZ1200.1D - Hifonics 1200W Brutus Series 1-Channel Monoblock Class D Amplifier 1 ohm for this one WoofersEtc.com - P500-1BD - Rockford Fosgate Punch 1 Ch. 500 Watt Amplifier Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker You will need a LOC to add your amp such as this one.
