what's the best amp for this?

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.

Cheryl,There are tons of different amps that you can use to run these. Size restrictions and budget are your only confinements.Eric c

Thats like asking MaryAnn or Ginger. I am using a Sony HiRes Amp and they sound fantastic. Any good quality piece of kit will let these great speakers sound good. It's a choice of your taste and wallet.

I would go with at least a 4 gauge kit for that size of amp. This is more for a 300-400 watt range.

I wouldn't recommend this amp for that. Its a 2 channel amp, has no speaker inputs only a headphone sized input.

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down

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.

I bought JL audio 4 channel amp. They sound amazing with it. It's rated 70RMS x 4 @4ohmn. Can't go wrong with that one.

Yes, that amp should be good. Enclosure is everything, tho I built mine in a single ported enclosure (factory specs)and it hits hard with a 150 watt rms punch amp.

Hifonics has brz1200 would also be good combo and cheaper. I have two of them pushing to type r 12 inch subs wired down to 1 ohm these amps are insane for the price

With ease. It should sound pretty good too. It's a little powerhouse of an amp actually.

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

I really like my alpine PDX-V9. It'll also power at least one sub. One of the most advanced amps out there

I Bought a kicker 1000w amps for mine. Give it plenty of amps so that nothing blows. I hooked up both my subs to that and they work like a charm!

You can use it with any amp. I use a crate half stack and it really boosts the volume.

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

I used a stupid-cheap Boss 1100w amp. Had a billion great reviews. Sounds fantastic.

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

I have got a Belva 2000 Watt amp that works greatly! Its Also a new brand but also not expensive.
