[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5381887, member: 540940"] "amplifier police"? Wtf is that supposed to mean? The mfg's recommendation is 500w rms. That is the thermal power rating - the amount of power and heat the sub can safely dissipate. What else is there to recommend? What conclusions are you drawing from the wide range of amps the mfg recommends? They recommend a 400w amp at 4 ohms (also capable of 1050@1 which is clearly not the intended configuration), and 550w at 4 ohms (1600 @ 1). The RA10 could probably go either way at 300/780, and the a6 is 500/1200 - again 500 at 4 is the implied configuration. what am I missing? Please enlighten me. [/QUOTE]
