New member Username: JkramleyUSA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-05 | Recently I bought a Rockford 15" subwoofer but I have no idea what kind of amp I need. It has 150 watt rms 300 watt peak at 4 ohms (not sure what this means). Also, what else do I need to buy besides an amp? I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this. |

Or also, you can just look at the sub and see if there are a total of 2 or 4 places to connect wires to the sub. |

Bronze Member Username: ScubasteveAnnapolis, MD Post Number: 41 Registered: May-05 | ok justin, you have a single voice coil sub. Basically any class D mono amp will be good. And you will need a wiring kit. You could get away with an 8 guage kit, but i'd stick with a 4 AWG anyway. http://www.lightningaudio.com/2004/products/product.asp?prodID=577 something like this is a good choice IMO. |
