look at the RMS of the subs you have. and get a amp that puts that much to the subs......

unless your into SPL then you prob would want to get an amp thatll put out the amopunt of peak power that the subs will handle..........but i would recommend getting RMS power, for the subs life sake

spl wise, power isn't that big of a deal... you always want to match the RMS power, not the max.

You probably want something class d cause it's efficient and doesn't have high SQ. they are all pretty much the same, so get a big one and put your subs in the right (important) ported box

what is a ported box, how is that better from a sealed or bandpass box? thanks

sealed = sq

ported = spl loud but not accurate

bandpass = ****

very simple!

sealed is what it sounds like, a woofer in a sealed enclosure

basically ported is a box with a hole in it... usually long and wide.

dont even think about bandpass, they're only good for a small freq. range.
