Stupid Amp question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #9468 5 posts Started by JKceli
I just picked up two 10" alpine type-r's and I'm looking around at different amps. What kind of wattage is necessary to power them both? Should I get an amp to power each sub? I realize this is a foolish question, but car audio has never really been my thing. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well I decided to go with a Alpine V12 2-channel 1000watt. With this kind of power behind it, it should hit pretty hard. I'm installing it all next week when I have free time. Hope it all turns out nicely. Thanks anyway guys.

i dont think those subs can handle that amp, but im not sure on all the specs on them. just remember that subs have power ratings for a reason. also, dont go by any peak power ratings use the RMS ratings.
