[QUOTE="AJM511, post: 7290362, member: 624777"] Since that sub can handle 750 watts rms, you're gonna need an amplifier that can do ~750 watts @ 3 ohms. You should probably get one thats rated for more, so you don't have to crank the gain up alot, but you don't have to. There are plenty of high quality amps out there, but here are a few: [URL="http://www.audioque.com/AQ2200D-Amplifier_p_31.html"]AQ2200D Amplifier[/URL] [URL="http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.php/products/item/saz-2500d.html?category_id=1"]SAZ-2500D[/URL] Basically, just match the rms power handling of your components to the rated power given by the amplifier. It doesn't have to be exact, however. Be careful with the impedances, I'd read up on wiring in parallel and series if you don't know already. Since most amplifier specs don't give the power for 3 ohms, just find the rms wattage between 2 ohms and 4 ohms, and get it close.
