[QUOTE="Fudged Undies, post: 534757, member: 57548"] You [b]DO NOT[/b] want an amp that is equal in power to the speaker. Though logically this makes sense, this is inaccurate because often times amp manufacturers fudge the power output of their amps. Most big names no longer over rate their amps but none the less, get an amp that puts out more power than you need. You will regulate this using the gain control on the amp. This is partially what the gain is for. You don't just crank the gain up to max and leave it, chances are this will cause distortion and potentially damage the speaker. A bigger amp (more powerful), will also give you future flexibility if you choose to go to a larger woofer. On the other side, if you under power the woofer you [b]WILL NOT[/b] damage it, it just won't perform as well as it could. If you need some help with the details feel free to drop me an email.
