i am looking to buy 2 sony 12" p5s and i was wondering what to look for when buying an amp for them. i want good power with a good price tag. help!!!!

RE: amps
 

go on ebay and get a rockford....look for a 2004 model.......theyll be a bit more than other amps but welllll worth it.

how many watts are power enough to push these subs hard!!! 1300w max 380 rms

RE: amps
 

well those subs are ****.....so whatever wattage they give u.......cuz it in half......a rockford 500 watt amp would prolly chew those subs up and spit em out.......go over 1000 watts and those subs will hate you......get a rockford amp and get rid of those subs.....nice subs that can handle power id recommend Infinity Perfects or Alpine Type R's......get dual 4 ohm subs so u can have a 2 ohm load to the amp to get the most possible power.

I agree those subs aren't very good, but if you are going to keep them, dont' buy an expensive amp because you won't need that much power. Get a rockford fosgate 300 and you'll have plenty of power, they are only like 140 dollars new on ebay. Plus if you upgrade your subs you can still use that amp later.

RE: amps
 

if you buy those subs, wire them into ur back speckers..thats about all the power they can handle

RE: amps
 

yeah, I agree with everyone else, you wont be able to put much power to those sony's and even if you give them power they can handle it will sound shallow and crappy. Alpine's are prob the best bang for the buck. I don't think they make type r's anymore, I think type s is the new model. I heard the type s is a little bit cleaner, but isn't nearly as durable and loud.

the type-x is the new one. it is made of carbon fiber (i think) and it is loud as hell
