I would buy the subs you want first then buy the amp that is recomended for them. I have 2 JL w10s that sound so much better with the recomended 300 watts of power or my 900 watt rockford fosgate.Which i will sell you if you really want a powerful amp.

only look at RMS values when buying amps. max values are useless.

Cheap amps do not perform to spec as well and may have problems such as overheating etc.

yes, RMS is what matters, watts means nothing really.

and you deff get what you pay for, cheap stuff dont last or work well.

well, i'm ashamed to admit it. but i have to give credit where its due.
that pyramid 1000watt amp. i had 2, one for each alpine type R and they powered them great. never had any heating problems and are still working to this day, in some other kids car. they are about 5 years old now. that system was LOUD.

when i first started doin audio in cars, you get what you payfor, and this is very true... those suck not because they have low/high power, its because they are non brand crap...if you pay 150 for a shotty amp, that has 1500 RMS it will do you no good since its going to crap out on you in a few months. Just spend the money and buy a nice amp, from alpine...

my friend bought a 2000w cheapo amp and when he opened it up the manual said it was only rms at 80w, so it barely even hit lol.

Someone said it and they were right, only look at rms values

I'd look for some quality used stuff. If you shop on eBay you can find some really good deals. I just picked up a used Alpine V12 MRV-F505 on eBay for $60 shipped. thumbsup.gif
