bottom line is whatever the subs hold rms is what will determine amp size and as long as you stay within the rms range and do not exceed they will last you. the sound will all depend on box design, i have always run sealed enclosures and they are the best when built to spec. i have a box program so if you give me sub type and size i can tell you just what the box will need to be then you can see if it will fit. smaller box=higher bass larger=lower bass just right =all frequencies the ohm load the speakers you get will also dictate the amp type and how much power. just post it here and i will tell you within the hour just what you need. trust me i ran spl competitions from 1992 until 2003 then i started back drag racing mustangs.

that is always ideal that way you can run the subs hard and stay out of the amps distortion level. yes that gain level can make or break the life of those subs bigtime. i was just making sure he knew that as long as he could cover the subs rms rating input he would be fine. in other words if his speaker runs 800 watts max and 250 rms he would need an amp that run about 400 to 500 watts rms not one that ran 1400 to 1600 peak power, you see what i mean. all that damn peak crap = D I S T O R T I O N SPARKOMATIC CRAPOLLA!!!!!!!!
