Wattage
Ok, I admit, I'm a bit new at the Car Audio scene. How do I know exactly what wattage amp to get? I've got 2 10" 1200W (330RMS) subs, how many watts should the amp have?
thanks
thanks

Re: (Orpheus1985)
Look at what the wattage is (RMS) per channel on the potential amp. If you're just going to run the sub's off the amp you might as well get a mono amp. http://www.crutchfield.com is a great resource for researching various amps.
Also, you might have more luck posting this in the Audio/Video/Security part of the forum.

Re: Wattage (Orpheus1985)
You must also know at what impedance both the amp and the speakers are being rated at, I am an ald guy and everything was at 8 ohms when I was a young buck. The more bass you are pounding the more wattage you will need, your amp will clip before the rest of the sounds come out. You understand a triaxle or three way speaker, hi mid and bass, the more you split up the sounds the better the quality of sound, this repuires seperate speakers of a certain size to match your car and crossovers to split it all up, save your pennies.
