you are looking for an amp that does around 800rms @ either 1 ohm or 4 ohm

How many channels? or is it mono? And also How will my car speakers in the doors be powered? Can you give me an example of the amp that would power them?

A mono/single channel amp that does 800rms at 1ohm. Your door speakers will continue to be poorly powered by the head unit (15-18RMS)... Not sure the model but I remember seeing a Diamond audio amp that makes that power at 1ohm... most amps that put out 800rms at 4 ohm will put out more power at a lower impedance... the jbl gto 1201.1 will put out 800rms at 4 ohm, though it does its maximum power at 2 ohm... so by not getting a proper sub/amp match you would miss out on 1/3 of it's power...

is this for daily driving or for comps? 800 watts rms at 1 ohm will rattle some teeth thats for sure. you might not want it that loud?

800rms is softer than baby poop.

Bigger is better.. 800w is not too much for a daily driver... it's good for daily :smilie_da

Find a amp that has 700-800w RMS of power to offer at 1 ohm and don't look back.
