What Amp?

[Gregdad]

I had two 10” Pioneer Champion series subs given to me and I need to know what’s a good amp to use?
Not sure yet if I’m going with a dual sub box or a single. I have the stock 8.4 and won’t be switching that out. I’ll be switching out the stock speakers at a later date.

Can’t go wrong with a Rockford Fosgate amp. Had one through high school and college. Same amp. Never failed me. It made my one 12” sound like 2 15s.

Can yiu introduce me into whoever gave you them subs? Been looking for those types of friends.

Make sure you can find a box thats big enough for those bad boys.

I guess it all depends on your budget. I myself like alpine amps. Been using one for about 5 years now and she still pushing. Nothing like those though.

Let us know how those sound. Good luck

What size would be good though? I don’t need to run these the max just want good clean bass

Do you want a small amp that is easy to hide, or does it not matter how big it is? Each sub is a single voice coil 4 ohm, so the final load will be two ohms. Honestly, any decent amp that does about 300-700 watts into a 2 ohm load would be about right for these. Just ignore the 1200 watt max BS on them.

Keep in mind too, that it takes twice the power just to gain a potential of 3db, so there would be next to no difference between say a 400 vs 500 watt amp, so don't get too hung up on exact wattage figures.

I figured 600-700 would be plenty for me and I plan on mounting it behind the rear seat
