Answer 1

you can stick any amp with any sub. just make sure your amp is strong enough to push your subs or you will have a little fire!

Answer 2

NO

take your time and save up a little so that you can get better quality equipment, the sub is a excellent choice but the amp is JUNK

its non CEA-compliant

you would be lucky if the amp puts out half of the advertised RMS wattage and it would more than likely be distorted (the main cause of speaker damage)

with CEA-compliant brands the amps have been tested and produce of exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion

here are the CEA-compialnt brands

Alpine (highly recommend)

Bazooka (don't like their subs)

Blaupunkt (don't like their subs)

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity (highly recommend)

JBL

JL Audio (very good but over priced)

JVC

Kenwood (don't like their subs)

Kicker (the best in my opinion)

Memphis

MTX (highly recommend)

Orion

Pioneer

Polk Audio (highly recommend)

PPI

Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)

Sony (don't like their subs)

if its not CEA-compliant you dont know the REAL RMS wattage and without that info its impossible to correctly match your equipment, heres what can happen

If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.

When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub.

Answer 3

any amp will work with any sub......... just the more powerful your amp is the louder your music will be( watts)
