It's 500 watts RMS and 1500 peak. I currently have it hooked up to a performance Teknique 1200 watts. I'm going to buy a new amp but I need advice on which one to buy? My budget is $250 and ofcourse the amp will be used (from local craiglist) I've seen Alpine AMP mrp-m500,jl 500.1 and some hifonics. I really don want to go TOO high in watts because I don't want to blow the sub. I will really appreciate if you guys help me get the best DEEPEST bass out of this subwoofer. Thank you all |

Silver Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 329 Registered: May-09 | I guess that performance Teknique wasn't that bad after all I don't recommend fixing that yourself, many times the glue ends up in the wrong place. |
