Hey guys, im new and im in need of some help here. Im 17 so im just starting out, but ive tried to read as much info as possible on car audio since i love it. Right now im young so i dont have all the money in the world to spend on something amazing, but im trying to get the best i can with what i got.

Right now, i have an alpine head unit, not sure which model (i no it ends in 45) I got 4 Kicker Speakers, 6.5 in the front, and 6X9 in the rear. I have dual 12's in my trunk, powered off a 600 Watt Jensen 4 Channel amp, bridged at about 120watts each i beleive they told me. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...d=1099396976115 those are the subs i got, yes cheap i no. I got them for free from my cousin.

***Now for my question, i want to take my 4 channel amp and power my 4 speakers with it, meaning i need another amp for my subs now. What would be a good amp to power those subs pretty much as loud as they could go without blowin them? i no it says 600RMS but i no they cant put out anywhere near that much i would assume. Does anybody got any good ideas? I was looking at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2640.html

Thanks alot guys, im looking forward to the response. I just want to make sure i get good advice because my knowledge isnt all there yet.

i would think that anything over 600W would be good as long as you turn down the gain. most people think that the gain is the volume as it really is not. try to match the gain with your headunit. i dont know how much your willing to spend but Pioneer has a good 800W amp out thats kinda cheap. i think they are $140-$180. i can usually get pioneer stuff cheap since my shop is sponsored by pioneer. anyways look into that pioneer. the model number is GM-5100T. ive installed lots of these i would say between 30-60 and they hit pretty hard. all depends what kind of subs you have but i think your subs should hit pretty decently.
