Ok i think ive decided on a Arsenal 10.

http://www.ascendantaudio.com/arsenal10specs.html

Unless there is one that has the same or higher power for the same or lower price. Now i would need an amp. Now the question is the right amp. Theres no listed peak power for the Arsenal 10, only 750W RMS. So should i buy an amp that puts out 750W RMS? Im thinking thats gonna be way to expensive for me. What should i try to match? Like would 400W RMS be enough or...i dont know, thats why im asking. So if you could tell me this ill look for an amp. Keep in mind i cant spend over 200 on the amp. Thanks!!

Keep in mind that peak power ratings (whether they be associated with an amp, a speaker, or a subwoofer) are a completely immaterial number. They serve no real purpose outside of marketing at the end of the day and as such can be dismissed.

RMS ratings are a much more important figure and the only one you really need to concern yourself with.

$200 should get you an amp that will give you 600~700 watts if you shop wisely.

A 400w amp would get that driver moving but it will really come alive with 700w+ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Ive read a few reviews on here, and im trying to decide between one Arsenal 10 or two Assassin 10's. Whats the advantages/disadvantages? I know there a 350W RMS power difference but the way they talked about the 10s they seem like there good enoguh for me. Idk help plz haha.

You can probably get two ten inch assassins for that price shipped...

that sub will still bump nice with 400 watts but it will sound even better with 700 watts. i would get an amp that will do abuot 900 watts rms that way you can keep your gains down and your amp wont over heat and it will last a lot longer.

ok well a 900w rms amp will run me way way way over my budget, am i correct?

Ok, if you know of any reputable places to get a 600-700W amp for 200 id appreciate a link.
