[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 6256408, member: 574699"] Explain what your subs are like, i.e. the amount of voice coils and what "ohms" they are. That will be required in the selection of the proper amp. Not many 2 channel amps are class D, and not many 2 channel Class AB amps can do 1100 rms / channel at 2 ohms without self-desctructing and requiring a large battery bank and upgraded alternator. Most class AB amps (which is most 2 channel amps) are only 50% or so efficient at making power. i.e. you need 2200 rms watts, which would be 183 amps @ 12 VDC for a 100% efficient amplifier. At 50% efficiency you would need 275-375 amps @ 12VDC. LOL, I probably screwed that math up, but anyway, it's close. [/QUOTE]
