What AMP?????

I have an '01 acura CL type S In Nighthawk, and I had a question for all my CL owners out there?
I just bought the MTX thunder 6000 10" tri sub enclosure, and I needed to know what amp I should get for it?
I dont feel like spending too much for an amp, but I do realize it is neccesary to have a strong enough amp for three 10 inch subs,
any suggestions??????
any help would be greatly appreciated

what is the RMS rating of your 3 MTX subs, and that type of enclosure is it? Sealed, Ported, Bandpass? The amount of power required is contingent on the enclosure. Bandpass requiring the least, sealed requiring the most.

If you were set on MTX amps I would get the Thunder81000D. The specs on your enclosure says 750 rms/1500 max. That Is a lot of power.

That would work, but you could give it a LOT more power. Just don't try to push it too far or you could have problems. Let me know how it sounds, I have never heard the 6000's.

Oh, I have no idea who would do that. I would ask some auto shops that do custom work. That's the only thing I can think of.
