Well for one you arent gunna bridge that amp for comps... You will need to figure out how to set your gains with a DMM...

How much do you wanna spend?

and i have Gbob2003 to help me out some. he knows a lot more that i do. I'm putting in an obsidian 15 on an audiopipe apsm 1300 if that counts for anything. prbly not. but the components need to be loud cuz we're tuning the box to 27hrz at 2.9 cubes. but i reel don't like kickers sound quality so I'm also looking for a good speaker not just loud

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

prbly under 150 for the pair. I'm considering used ones if anybody has ones for sale.

 

[Bettr n' Revrse 5,000+ posts]

2.9 is small for that low of a tuning IMO... Id save a little part of your budget to deaden your doors...

125 watts rms per channel

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]
