Which Brand and Wattage Amp Should I Get?

Question

I have Alpine Interior Speakers in my car either type R or Type S, and I recently purchased a JL Audio 10W6V2-D4 10 Inch Sub. I mostly listen to Rock and Alt, but from time to time listen to Rap and Techno, I am not one to have it cranked all the way up all the time. Between Which brands should I get and how much wattage? I was looking to go with a Class D Monoblock Btw too.

Answer 1

Buy any amp that is cea compliant and that matches your subs RMS well. Ignore peak and max values and look at the RMS.

So find a cea compliant RMS matching at the proper impedance and your good to go.

Some cea compliant amps are all Rockford Fosgate amps, Kicker amps, Alpine amps and lots more.

Answer 2

Simple. Look for a mono amp that's CEA-2006 compliant and pushes the same RMS watts as the sub can handle at the same ohm load.
