- Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:37 pm #124329 for those get a 2 channel amp that pushes 300 watts RMS, alot of people dont realize it but the RMS rating is more important that peak power rating, make sure you get a get wiring kit, good wiring makes a big difference in a system's sound

- Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:11 pm #124431 well almost, the RMS is the continuous power the sub can take, for your 1 10 you can get a 300 watt amp that pushes 150 watts RMS (continuously)
this shit can be really confusing :wink:

- Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:14 pm #124433 match the rms from a amp to the rms on the sub. if you sub need 150amps to push then by a amp that is 200 amps. better to have more power than not enoug. i hate when someone get a amp thats to small and had evry gage maxed out. my amp is plenty of power for 2 subs. and the amp is only up like 1/2 -3/4 of the way. also use a mono block amp. its designed for bass. also need somthing with a goo ohm rating. like 2ohm stable. then if your subs are good you can bridge it for a lil extra bump. get dual voice coil subs. they have a wider range of bass. go to a good shop and jest let them know what your looking for. the combos of base and amp setups is endless.

- Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:53 pm #124461 just make sure they are mono block. dont use amps that are for you highs. ya it will work but not that good. bridge the 12in subs off the 2 chanel. you will get more ohms. also pick up a adio book that tells you waht everything means. it will asist you in making the right dessisions,
