im looking at some MA 10" subs and i pretty much only listen to metal, bands like Lamb Of God, In Flames, Megadeth Etc. i generally like to hear lots of the kicker but not so much i cant hear everything else. im looking to get a pair of the MA's and ive found some good deals on 500 and 600 watt ones. and i drive a 2005 nissan sentra

Just match the RMS of the subs to RMS of the amp. If its too loud for you then you can just turn down the gain on the amp.

Maybe stay away from MA too. . . let us know your budget

i have a kicker sx600.2 amp if you need it

Yes. And im guessing they are SVC 4 ohm subs, so get an amp that will do 600w x 1 @ 2 ohms.

is this online? Can you give us the link? if not. . we can find a good 5-600 rms watt amp for you. . but you still need to give us a BUDGET to find you a better amp. . . pyle would be throwing your money away!

my budget is 300 roughly but less is always better...... thats just info not the site im ordering off of... what kind of amp would u recommend for powering 2 of those
