Noob Amp Question
Fourthmeal,trunk monkey, eggyhustles, mattastick where are you guys help me LOL! hope I spelled your names right
Picking up an RE audio 10" sub this Friday from a member on car audio forum and want to know what amp should I run. Not to sure how many watts I should get. Last time I bought a amp and hooked it up to my subs I blew my subs. Subs where 500 Watts RMS each and my amp was 1000 so I dont see why it would have blown, but I am a noob to some aspects of car audio including this one. LOL
Here is the sub I am getting
WoofersEtc.com - RE10 - RE Audio 10" 250 Watt Dual 4 Ohm RE Series Subwoofer
Please let me know what is the correct amp wattage I should be running for one of these.
Thanks

I got the amp info now from Caraudioforum...
No I'm going to attempt to make my own enclosure something I always wanted to do my friend works in Lumber @ Lowe's and I have a new sub so I think its a good time to do it..
Just need to get the specs from the sub to build the enclosure

Wire the sub up to 8 ohms. Should give you 200w

Google sketchup! Its all I use. Then of course winisd pro to design the enclosure specs.
Literally what i do is fire up GS, then WinISD, and run them at the same time. I model up my ideal box size in winisd, then I start sketching a box that will get that spec to work. If I find that my box is unreasonable, then I go back to winisd and see where any adjustment can be made to the airspace or tune (if ported), and flip-flop back and forth until I find a balance.
Results as an example:

OP, what's your budget for the amp? With that sub, you really only need a couple hundred watts. Then again, if you have the cash in your budget for an SAZ-1500D, please save yourself the hastle and get one. They're great amps, and like eggy said, you'll never need to buy another amp. I regreted selling my previous 2 so much I bought another.
