[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 8400113, member: 628495"] There is no standard on max power ratings, you can safely ignore them. Because bass is typically mono (as in, if you have headphones on and are listening to a song, the bass line in the left ear of the headphones is the same as the right ear), you don't need a 2 channel. Mono amps (usually labeled class D) are more efficient than 2 channel amps and are what you would want for your subs. Most vehicles can run 1200-1500w with minor electrical upgrades. Anything past that and you'll need to invest in an extra battery or alternator upgrade if you don't want to damage your equipment or your vehicle. I recommend getting a solid 1500w amp (will run you around 250-300) and looking up what the "big 3" upgrade is. [/QUOTE]
