Personally if your willing to spend that kind of money on an amp I would do it right the first time. A few amps that come to mind are a JL 500/1 (One of the best sub amps around), another is the JBL bpx500.1. Both of these amps say that they put out 500 watts RMS, but they have been bench tested to produce over 700 watts RMS. Definiatly stay away from the sony though.

yea im def not guna go with the sony...the kenwood excelon is looking prety good to me right now.
so are you posotive it would be ok to run 800 watts to this sub?1997 Camaro<br />17x9 Chrome SS wheels, SLP CAI, Magnaflow Catback,<br />High Flow Cat, Blacked out Lights, 20% tint, AUDIO: 1600W Kenwood eXcelon Amp, 12\" Kicker L7, 1 Farad Cap (Recently STOLEN),<br />H&R Springs and KYB AGX\'s,<br />Billet GrilleComment

my 2 subs are 600 WATT RMS and i just turned the gain donew to 75% it hasn't blowen them yet, you can leave the gain all the way and it will be fine.Originally posted by fabolous24:

While it is true the gain DOES regulate power output, just because the knob is turned up 3/4 of the way DOES NOT mean the amp is outputing 3/4 the power....Originally posted by viper04af:

Very true. Good info 311. fabolous, do it right and get a multimeter to set your gain. This will assure you that you are pushing 750 rms to the sub.

how would i go about doing that?
and i was actually thinks about just running 800 to it because ive heard from a few people that it is a strong sub and can handle more than 750 RMS...i may turn the gain down a little at first though just so it can get a chance to break in...anyone think this would be a bad idea for my sub?1997 Camaro<br />17x9 Chrome SS wheels, SLP CAI, Magnaflow Catback,<br />High Flow Cat, Blacked out Lights, 20% tint, AUDIO: 1600W Kenwood eXcelon Amp, 12\" Kicker L7, 1 Farad Cap (Recently STOLEN),<br />H&R Springs and KYB AGX\'s,<br />Billet GrilleComment

Use this link and go down to the gain setting tutorial.
http://jlaudio.com/tutorials/index.html#
This is the proper way to set your gains. Heres a good rule of thumb too, every time you double power you gain 3dbs. Therefore goin from 750rms to 800 is not gonna give you that much more output. Get a multimeter and set your gain to 750rms. Give the sub time to break in (play it on lower volumes for a week or two). If you blast it before its broke in you can comprimise the long term reliablity of your subwoofer.

a smiple Muti meter won't work us less you know how to use ohms law, becuase the amps that is being push will fry the multi meter.
buy the way you can adjust the amp buy just lissening to it if it distorts then tune it down, some and try again, let i have said many many times 50Watts (for a sub) won't hurt any thing.www.turbov6camaro.com

P=E^2/R
Power=Volts^2/Resistance in ohms
Therefore....
750=E^2/2 (assuming you wire it into 2 ohms)
1500=E^2
38.7=E
Therefore you would have to turn the gain up until it reads 38.7 on your multimeter (following the instructions from the link i posted).
Viper, yes it is true that it is VERY unlikely that 50 watts will harm your sub. However, like I said before, you have to double power to gain 3dbs so an extra 50 watts is not gonna make enough difference to warrant the extra heat forced upon the amp/sub.
Fabolous, you can pick up a digital multimeter at radio shack or any other electronics store.
