[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 765495, member: 555320"] Yes, for a single SE you would need to look for an amp that does 500-700w @ 2ohm. However, to power two SE's you'd need an amp that does around 1200w or so into [I]1ohm or 4ohm[/I]. If you think you may upgrade to two SE's later, then you will want to look for an amp that is 1ohm stable, and puts out the power you need into both 2ohm (for a single SE now) and 1ohm (for two SE's later). A good example is the DEI Viper 1200.1: [URL="http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2424"]http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2424[/URL] It will give you about 800w into 2ohm for a single SE (so, you may have to set the gains a little on the conservative side), and then it will do 1200w into a 1ohm load (which would be perfect for dual SE's) [/QUOTE]
