RMS power for a 600W RMS JL 10w6v2

[senaudio 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I am getting a 10w6v2 for a great price from a friend, and am going to buy an amp to power it. It has 600W RMS/1200W peak handling. From reading the forums and other sources, I want to get an amp where i don't have to worry about clipping too much, and don't have to max the gain to adequately power the sub. It is a .85 cu ft sealed enclosure and i like SQ applications w/ a little SPL. It will be a daily driver. I want to run it near to the manufacturer spec, so no "i heard it will take 1200 W and sound great" please.

So, should i get a

500W RMS amp

600W RMS amp

700W RMS amp

etc.

Please leave your recommendation and take the poll. THanks!!!

I would get a 599w amp just to be on the safe side.

You forgot to tell us your budget.

my budget is 75-200 for the amp. as long as its cea-rated and d class mono, the brand isn't important. clearly i'm not trying to go high dolllar. how about the jbl gto7001

Nice choice, that would work fine.

Even 400w would be enough, you wont hear a huge difference between 400 and 700w.
