Having difficulty finding an amp...

This is the speaker I have:

And I cannot seem to find any amp that won't blow it. Long story short, I need it to have it's own amp.

I thought about this one, would it work?

How would that blow the amp? If not this one, which amp should I use?

You can use any 25x2 amp and bridge it with the gain turned down and be fine.

Do you have any specs? I want something that will work... Condition isn't really important.

Sorry I don't know much about bridging... How would I do that?

just don't turn your gain up to much. you can hook almost any amp up to it, as long as you do it right.

i have a class x farenheit 195 watt amp that would run that center channel really well...it has a built in high pass crossover to filter the bass out.....40.00 shipped to your door..

the pioneer amp on ebay is junk. i wouldnt waste my money on it....mine looks way cooler ...lol

just leave the gain low and it wont blow the speakers...

bridging a amp is when you take the 2 channels on a amp, and combine them together to make 1 channel...

Bingo.

Too many fools responding about things they dont understand. ^^This guy is correct.

Keep your gains down and your fine. In fact, your better off as you have more headroom available. Using a 50 watt amplifier does not mean the speaker will always be getting 50 watts. In fact, rarely will it. Plus add in the fact that when you turn it up, you eventually start clipping the signal.

Basically, your better off using a higher powered amplifier and turning back the gains. Less distortion, more headroom.

Try something like this, an Alpine 3522s.

30w x2 and 80w mono.

(I own one, but this one is not mine.)
