does anyone have a suggestion which amplifier is best to use with this speaker?

I have a Pioneer GM-D8601 and it pushes this sub pretty hard. I would say go with a 1000 watt rms amp from Rockford, Memphis, or Soundstream. If you want a Pioneer amp, go with the GM-D9601.

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

No, watts don't equate to sounding better. Best to go to a best buy with a magnolia so you can hear different speakers and amps before you buy.

if ur going to go with that then get 2 2000 watt amp's cuz u won't have enough to get the max useage of ur speaker's...have fun...

I haven't done extensive testing. I use this with bookshelf speakers and it sounds significantly better than other digital amps I've tried with this same setup.

Bought myself the Crown x4000 amplifier. Here it is for $300, I believe it's on sale right now? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/crown-x4000-stereo-2x1350w-power-ampWorks fine, haven't had a problem and it pushes these speakers perfectly!

No its only a speaker selector not an amplifier. There are a lot of options for what you need though. Search ipod speaker or something similar.

Obviously depends on your budget amplifier and taste... Having said that, I prefer the warm tone, my setup is Marantz amplifier with Paradigm monitor 7 floor standing speakers and the setup sounds great. Consider JBL and Infinity on the low end, consider Paradigm, PSB, Wharfedale Diamond or B&W; if you have the budget.

There are a lot of options, and it depends on what you'll be using them for. I just listen to music most of the time, so I use a Yamaha A-S500 integrated amplifier. It has worked great for me.

Depends on how much you plan to turn up the volume I think 1500 watt inverter would be enough also you might look at the ds18 brand speaker

Get a 4 channel amp that gets 500w rms for the speakers and tweeters. Get a monoblock amp that runs same rms as subs for them

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

I installed a "Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-Watt Stereo Amplifier" for these speakers. I did not want anything really loud just a boost. It works great.

I would recommend a higher quality amp. it pushes 12's okay but audio quality is not there.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

I have not used an amplifier for these speaker. I use them attached to my computer and am extremely satisfied with their sound. Their is a built in amp on one of the speakers.

I'd leave the selector at 8ohm and run the mix of 6 and 8 ohm speakers. It should be fine. The only way you'd run into a problem is with 4ohm speakers, and in that case you should be using a discrete amplifier.
