The peak power rating is an immaterial number. You can flatly ignore it.

THe RMS (or continuous) rating is a much more significant number. That sub is rated for 700w RMS and will likely take up to about 1,000 watts safely on music.

If you cannot find an amp that will give you 700~1000 watts @ whatever resistance load you need (that driver has Dual 6 Ohm coils so look for an amp that makes 900~1100w or so @ a 4 Ohm load would be my suggestion after wiring the coils in parallel to a 3 Ohm load) for $500 or less then you're not looking hard enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

at the swap meet i asked the guy for one of his nicest amps he showed me this hifonics amp with a built in fan and he said he sold one to his friend who took it to a competition. Only 300$ what do you all think about hifonics amps?

without make and model, you won't get many responses.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif
