even then Peak means almost nothing... in the end RMS is what counts most

i'm thinking something a long the lines of:
Phoenix Gold R8.0.1
Directed D1200
but I've never tried either of these before. I've also heard good things about clarion amps, but don't know much about them.

in the case that its SVC 4s then it will be a net 2 or 8-ohm load

in the case that its DVC 4s the it'll be 1 or 4 ohm net load depending on wiring setup


most all amps are 4 and 2 ohm stable, not many cheap ones will be 1 ohm stable, amps will deliver to 8 ohms but you wont get much power at all
