Pg xenon 400.1 You will get a 2 ohm load, so you need 400w rms at 2 ohms

Those are 6" speakers, woofers to be exact. Are you using them as subwoofers, or full range?

You're going to need a POWERFUL 4 channel, or two really powerful 2 channels.. unless you're willing to bridge two of sets to a 2 channel... because they're 8 ohm per speaker :\

I'll look up some amps.. can't think of one off hand that'd be ideal

just get audiobahn a8000V, i think is a class A/B amp and that will do the job. Turn the gain down!

Ok, so get the audiobahn a8000v, or a mono class A/B amp that will power 400w rms @ 2ohms?

so it doesn't necessarily have to be 400w rms, it can be greater just make sure the gain is turned down?

just remember that if you choose a monoblock amp, like the one being suggested here, you will have a completely mono signal, meaning no stereo effect (no left and right), and no fader(no front and rear). same signal for every driver.

so putting "speakers" on a mono amp just means that you lose balance and fade?
