    The ratings tell you what kind of wattage range to be looking at. 400 for the sub, 60 and 40 for the speakers.

    A good 50x4 amp would be fine for the speakers and a 400x1 for the sub. Something like the Crossfire 5 channel I mentioned in your other thread.

    Since 400 is the max RMS for the sub, I would get an amp that puts out 300-350 at the subs given ohm rating, IMO.

    as long as it's clean power you can run most subs at their listed RMS rating all day and be just fine.



    and fyi when discussing ONE TOPIC use ONE THREAD... we're still talking about the same setup in the same car so can we please keep from cluttering up the place??

    Dont be hatin' on a brotha. (did I say that right?)

    Swerve is a Circuit City Professional and that shouldnt be taken lightly.

    "artfucks"... 10 points for originality, i'll give you that, but minus several thousand for the opressive beating you're enduring here :D
