[QUOTE="TheBigPilferer, post: 8863329, member: 690294"] Different companies rate their products RMS differently, so it can be kinda confusing. What's most important is the amount of output you want. For some crazy reason some people think that if they have a 1500 watt RMS sub that they need a 1500 watt amp. For example, I have 2 12" Skar EVLs that are rated at 1250 RMS each. I power them with a 1000 watt RMS amp, and I have more bass than I want. In fact, I'm generally only utilizing about 500 of those watts, and this is playing rap music. I do have a midsize SUV, which helps for bass, but if I go much louder than that my ears start to pop and it's no longer enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
