I believe they are 650rms, but I'm not sure. Feed them what you can give, also keep in mind that they're 8ohm DVC. Keep that in mind when choosing an amp

The Shiva is very efficient. You don't need a lot of power to get it loud. So depending on the enclosure size, I would recomend around 300 watts.
