got a sub and amp question
i am tryin to get either one 8" or a 10" sub. So my question is what size of an amp do i need or should i get?
For example, if i got a sub that was:
Capable of handling 300 watts (peak) and 150 watts RMS (continuous)
now based on that what type or size amp would i need?
thanks

This will give you decent headroom and allow the sub to reach it's full potential on clean power with out having to max out the amps gain.
