The Memphis Audio MOJO1212 12″ subwoofer is rated 1500W RMS / 3000W peak, and its FLEX technology lets you select a 1-ohm or 2-ohm load with an included jumper. Matching an amp means picking your ohm load first, then finding an amp rated near 1500W RMS at that same load — not chasing the biggest peak-power number on the box. These 10 span budget monoblocks to a full 1500W-at-2-ohm Constant Power match.

The picks, in detail
Skar Audio RP-1500.1D Monoblock Class D Amplifier
Rated 1500W RMS at 1 ohm (930W at 2 ohm), matching the MOJO1212 almost watt-for-watt if you set the sub’s jumper to 1 ohm.
- 1500W RMS at 1 ohm
- 930W RMS at 2 ohm
- 1-ohm stable
- 4-way protection circuitry
- Near-exact match to the sub’s 1-ohm rating
- Strong value for the power delivered
- Power drops significantly if you run the sub at 2 ohm instead
Rockford Fosgate Power T1500-1bdCP
Rated 1500W RMS at both 1 ohm and 2 ohm thanks to Constant Power circuitry — the best match if you’d rather run the MOJO1212 at the safer 2-ohm setting.
- 1500W RMS at 1 ohm and 2 ohm (Constant Power)
- Class BD design
- Sub-optimized frequency response
- Full 1500W RMS available whether you choose 1-ohm or 2-ohm
- Significantly pricier than the Skar Audio option
Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X1bd
A 1000W RMS at 1 ohm / 500W at 2 ohm amp for anyone who’d rather run the sub slightly underpowered than risk clipping.
- 1000W RMS at 1 ohm
- 500W RMS at 2 ohm
- Class-BD design
- Reputable Rockford Fosgate build quality at a lower price than the T1500
- Doesn’t reach the sub’s full 1500W rating
Memphis Audio PRXA1000.1 Power Reference Series
A same-brand pairing rated 1000W RMS at 1 ohm and 750W at 2 ohm, styled to match the MOJO series aesthetic.
- 1000W RMS at 1 ohm
- 750W RMS at 2 ohm
- LED accent lighting
- Cast aluminum chassis
- Matches the MOJO subwoofer’s brand and styling
- Underpowers the sub’s full rating like the Rockford Punch
Sundown Audio SAEv3-1500D
Rated 1500W RMS at 1 ohm and 800W at 2 ohm, a strong middle-ground option between the Skar and Rockford Fosgate picks.

- D-Series lineup
- Widely available with strong dealer/service network
- Check the specific ohm-load RMS rating against your sub’s jumper setting before buying
DS18 ZR1500.1D
1500W RMS at 1 ohm (950W at 2 ohm), a close power match to the Skar Audio RP-1500.1D from a different budget-focused brand.
- 1500W RMS at 1 ohm
- 950W RMS at 2 ohm
- 550W RMS at 4 ohm
- Lowpass and subsonic filters
- Bass knob included
- Near-identical power curve to the Skar RP-1500.1D as an alternative brand
- Compact 14.8-inch chassis
- Like the Skar, power drops noticeably if run at 2 ohm instead of 1
JL Audio JD1000/1
1000W RMS at 2 ohm from a premium car audio brand — a higher-quality, pricier alternative to the Rockford Punch and Memphis PRXA1000.1 in the same underpowered-but-safe power class.
- 1000W RMS at 2 ohm
- 760W at 2 ohm variant spec, 420W at 4 ohm

Buying tips
- Memphis’ FLEX technology lets the MOJO1212 run at 1 ohm or 2 ohms via an included jumper — decide which load to run based on your amp choice, then match RMS power at that same load, not a headline number quoted for a different ohm setting.
- Running the sub at 2 ohms paired with a 2-ohm-rated 1500W amp (Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP) is generally a safer, more thermally stable setup than chasing 1-ohm ratings.
- Slight underpowering (Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X1bd, Memphis PRXA1000.1, JL Audio JD1000/1, JL Audio RD1000/1) is safer for the subwoofer’s long-term health than overpowering — a clipping, underpowered amp is actually more likely to damage a voice coil than a well-matched or modestly under-matched one.
- A Taramps monoblock rated near 1500W for this sub was suggested as a lead but did not check out this round — Taramps’ well-known TL 1500 model is actually a 390W 3-channel full-range amplifier, not a 1500W monoblock, so it’s excluded here rather than listed on the strength of the name alone.
- Always confirm the exact RMS-at-your-chosen-ohm number on the amp’s spec sheet before buying; the same amp model can have very different ratings at 1 ohm vs. 2 ohm vs. 4 ohm.
