![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Just purchased some of the above subs from a member on here and he gave me a pretty good opinon on what amps to get for the subs to sound to there capible performance. i understand from many reviews from perfessionals to regular customers of these subs that they are very well designed to perfection to sound great as well as there amps most of all. Now my problem is there amps are prettty expensive when it comes to one that can put out 2 channels of around 300-500 each channel (300-500watts per sub). soooo im trying to figure out what amps i could purchase that are highly recommended for good sound quailty and not just alot of empty watts that will power these subs to hit hard an sound like actul musical bass like they should. Thanx..kinda a budget question i suppose lol..(for refrence ive found the jl HD amps and all the amps that are above 700 that have been recommended frm other brands, wondering if theres anything else worth getting thats possible cheaper that anyone may know of.) thanx again in advance

Zapco, Memphis, Audison, and USAmps are all great. Budget and preference will be the main factors. The JL HD amps look interesting, and I have been tempted to shrink my system down to a smaller footprint.

See if this link helps, not sure if you have single or dual voice coils.

I have been installing Arc amps since they have started business. Exceptional Quality. Look at the Kar series, they are priced pretty reasonable. Have great sound quality and awesome performance. There 900.1 or 1000.1 would be perfect for that setup and the new design looks nice and not to flashy.

If you buy a good quality amp, it won't matter whether it's mono or multi-channel.
How are you powering the rest of your system?
I may be selling my DLS A6 which would be an excellent amp for your subs.
