What's the best amp that I can use with this speaker?

I bought the Boss amplifier and its 1200w. Its perfect for my infiniti g37 coupe. It was about $70

I have 2 of these running on a Pioneer 1000.1 D class amp. They may be able to handle more but you don't want to over power them and burn up the voice coil. I am a big Pioneer fan but there are other more affordable amps to pick from.

on eBay Sonic Electronix is selling a refurbished hifonics 1000 watt amp for $83 can't beat that price that'll be perfect for that one sub

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers

Listen to the other answers. They are all correct.I will only add the following,I matched this amp with these bookshelf speakers (rated at 8ohms 120W)Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)and the sound is tremendous! Love the amp!

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

Any powered amplifier with the appropriate wattage would work, but just a tip: this isn't a very good speaker. For the same price, you can get a much better quality with the Gemini GSM-3250. Look into it, I'm sure you'll switch just like I did, but $200 later!

One of the main things you need is a receiver, power amp, or powered mixer, which has enough watts per channel to effectively run the speaker. These are 150 watt max speakers so you need that or above to get the full speaker potential. I have a peavey 200 watt per channel powered mixer. Any amp with 150 or above will work fine. Usually more watts better sound with quality speakers, especially at low levels. Hope this helps!

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

To get the most out of those speakers I would use this amp, Rockford Fosgate R300X4, in bridged mode. Meaning you bridge the front two channels together and the rear two channels together to get a 2 channel output. I use this amp to drive a pair of Focal 165 AS separates. Its almost 170 watts per channel.

this would not be your best bet. go with a 1000 watt mono amp. I used this 500 watt on my door speakers. Had a 1000 watt mono for my two 10's and it was far more than enough. However the 500 wouldnt give you what you need.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Not sure what the best amp is but I have a QSC PLX1804 power amp pushing these babies. I wanted to be able to push these speakers to the max and this amp does just that. I love these speakers.http://www.qscaudio.com/products/Power_Amplifiers/PLX2_Series/PLX1804/

I have only used the built in sound and it is excellent. It is used only at home. I don't really have a recommendation for an external amp. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would invest in an AMP for sure, short money but will get more out of the unit. I purchased the Polk 4 channel and it is worth the short money it cost

A really good amp is the Schiit Fulla (seriously).... check it out if you are looking for one.

I actually power mine with an 8 watt tube amp (the K12G kit amplifier from TubeDepot). Sounds great and easily fills a bedroom or small office with sound. Most of the smaller solid state amps sold through Amazon have more power than that, so really any decent one will work.

This is a great amp.http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=1VT9WZRKT4420&C;=3TG14KBDH777U&H;=6ISVNJSFOJS0RV1FHACRNS5MDZMA&T;=C&U;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB00F0H88SY%2Fref%3Dpe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_2
