1 or 2 Subs, that is the question.

[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 6810679, member: 621756"] Definitely get an amp able to power 2 comfortably. Whether new, craiglist or here. If you never get a second sub it doesn't really matter. It is always better to have an amp that can match up to the sub with ease than to try and push one too small to it's limit. I run amps at about 50% to 75% gain. Some are over 20 years old bought used. My amps generally are much more powerful than the speaker's rms, that is what the gain is for. A 1200 rms amp putting out about 900 rms (450 per sub) should keep you happy until the type r's are obsolete. [/QUOTE]
