Amp setup with 8" assassins

[bp4131017 10+ year member]

What kind of amp would i be looking into to power 2 8" assassins?

i was told class D mono amp, but would i need a seperate amp for my other speakers? Or could i get a two channel to take car of my subs on one amp and my speakers on the other?

basically, what kind of set up would be the most beneficial for sound quality? I'm also not looking to spend too much money, i'm a 17 year old working 3 days a week

What amp would you suggest, faulkton, that would give him adequate power to do that?

^ good pricec for an amp with a msrp of like $899.

Plus it puts out rated power (200 watts per channel) at 1-4 ohm and 2-8ohm bridged. Good built in crossovers..overall flexible amps.

wouldn't 225W be enough for each assassin?

Rec. Power 150 W

Probably so ~ I had to look up the specs on that Xenon as I wasn't familiar with 'em off the top of my head //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

they are rated @ 200.. but every birth sheet ive seen they put out at least 225 per chan.

200 for each is fine....I installed a four channel in my brothers car with a single assassin in .9 cubes tuned to 35 and its freakin loud for a single 8...Only 200 watts from the bridged rear channels and it was flexing his trunk lid and spoiler pretty good......Just run seperate amps or a 3 channel with a sub section that puts out around 400-600 at 2 ohms...

Edit: That xenon is a good match...
