I have 2 subs and now need a amp to power them.
I do NOT know how to calculate the rms and peak to get the answer i need.
All i know is the guy i got these from said he used a 1000 watt 2ch amp and
since he didnt know what was the info the subs i did some research and found
the above info so i just want to make sure i dont under/over power them
What size amp is recommended to push these?

thanks

With 2ea., Dual 4ohm VC you can wire them for either 1ohm load, or 4ohm load on the Amplifier.
Find a Mono Amplifier that can put out 500-700 rms watts at either 1ohm or 4ohm load, depending on how you want to wire them to the Amplifier. If you want the lowest possible cost then look for a Amp that puts out 500-700 rms watt with a 1 ohm load.

I have a Hifonics Amp, some say they are a little cheap, but i find good bang for the buck with them. They sell them on sonicelectronix.com

Mr. CPG Trans Am

I use the ORION HCCA 250G4, 2 x 50 watt amps. Great power and sound. average price is around 200 to 250
