im not sure which forum to post this in so im posting it in two.. whichever one isnt in the suitable forum please delete it.

10in sub = 250W peak.. i have 2 of them

if i get an amp to power these to the max do i get a 500W amp to power the combined wattage of the subs.. or a 250W amp to power the peak of one sub?

im thinking i get a 250W for them.. and if i bridge them to get a 500W.. but im not sure.. someone please help me.. i dont want to fuck up my subs by pushing too much power to them..

 

A dual channel 300-400 watt amp should do fine.

 

The peak rating is what the subs can handle at one particular point for a very short period of time before the blow up or the coil burns up, sort of like like a signal spike. Look for the RMS rating and try to get an amp that can deliver that rated amount of power. If you're planing on using a 2 channel amp in stereo mode make sure the amp can deliver the rated amount per channel, if using it as a mono amp then make sure it can deliver that same amount (rating on 1 sub) when bridged. The rated power for the amp is determined by the way you'll run the subs, stereo or mono(1 or 2 channels). Hope that makes sense.
