i recently installed a clarion DXZ855MP head unit with some clarion front 6.5" components and clarion 6x9" rear 3-ways after pulling out all my OEM interiors and my 2 alpine Type-R 10's. i am putting ONE of my 10's back in and want to find an amp to accomodate... here are specs on the Alpine Type-R 10".

do u know if clarion has one? i think the peak is 1000w, but i don't wanna push that much... want it to mix well with my interiors.

EDIT: i'm asking because clarion's site says nothing about their amps...

RMS into 4ohms and for speakers it's watts RMS continuas all the other numbers realy don't mean much, as they can be "fudged" 94
