Any amp will run it mate, However.. the higher the watt on the amp the better the quality will be. Running too low wattage will sound shit! =]

minimum i say 600 watt... i've got a 1300watt mono block just for the sub.. but i've got it tuned perfect.. its not about watt really, the quality in amp and sub depending if you want quality or just bass..

Forget max whats, what RMS is the sub. Its all about matching the RMS of the Amp to the Sub. Ideally you need to get an amp with a higher wattage so that you dont have to run the amp at full gain to get high volume.

No point screwing all you can out of an amp for it to sound shit!

If you don't know the difference between Max and RMS then its something you should learn about because Max means fuck all!

^^^ completely right, and it also depends on the quality of the amp, there will be a big diffrence between and alpine amp, and a juice 1!

at the end of the day, you get what you pay for

Only to a point, depends on the amps frequency range etc etc but I have had some amps that have been cheaper than others and far better at doing whats needed!

Sometimes you are paying for the name, the silly lights and displays etc

You also need to know what ohm the sub is to match with the amp.
