everyone asks but just quickly

okay so im not to bright when it comes to the whole subs wireing rms watts deal thing
so i have a 1000 watt sony explode sub, it's already in a box, and it doesnt say anywhere what the rms is, so what amp will i need to power it the best? i know theres a million what amp threads but i couldnt find one that helped me and would rather get it right then just assume, so any help would be great

[GEN3RATD]

the 'i dont know anything about car audio" response from yours truely would be any amp haha.
ive ran so many different amps with different subs and they all sounded good.

Depends mate, do you just want it to work or do you want to get it pumping out at its potential?

yeah i want it going as good as it can, theres no point just going half assed and having it at half potential

From memory they were around 380RMS and single 4 ohm voice coil.

Ive got an RE XT800.2 on the shelf behind me that would do the job awesomely.

XT SERIES :: US AMPS

RRP $369

I bought it as a distributor so I can sell it significantly cheaper so I can sell it at regular cost of $249

yeah that one sounds good, but i hate buying of the net, i have plenty of auto shops around i was hoping to get one from, i just needed some suggestions or some specifications for what i need

[Joe Bellissimo]

Well if your in metro sydney for the new year you can come up and have a look and pick it up if you like, im in the south west of sydney.

But those specs are pretty spot on for what you need, around 500rms @ 4ohm

aw sweet thanks heaps and yeah since christmas just finished i will probly have to wait atleast a week to get an amp
but i might get my friend to buy it of the net, because we both got the same subs today because there was a boxing day sale on and he's looking for an amp to so i might just get him to order 2 of the net and pay him back
