Suggestions please choosing amp
Hi, i have a pair of speakers 90 watt rms. I want to buy a sub which is around 200-300 watt rms. What amp should i get for these two speakers and sub?

gave my components 150 watts each in the front and my sub 300 watts! good amp for a simple set up.. just bridge the rear channel for the sub |

in some cases yes, I had the Infinity REF 6500cx which were rated at 90 watts rms.. but infinity actually recommended running them at 150 watt rms.. i had an Alpine mrp f300 and they put out 150 *2 @ 4 ohms bridged so Itook a chance and those 6.5s took them like a champ, ran perfect for 1 year n some months until I upgraded.. I guess it depends on the makes and build but I would run components at 150 a piece again only if the woofer looks like it could handle it but I'd always play it safe and start the gain low and work it up if the speakers want more..
if you could suggest a make i could check up on that would be great. my speakers btw are sony xs-n6940. |

there is not alpine where i live, only sony and pioneer and some other make called symphony.

hmm okay, those sonys got a max peak at 500 watts but it doesn't state the rms.. I'd start off with a 100 watt rms amp for those, if you got pioneer there check out the pioneer gm-d8604

they are rms 90 watt.
does the gain comtrol the output power? but you can blow a 1000 watt sub with a 300 watt rms amp if the signals got clipping |

yes your suppose to set it according to the signal you receive from your head unit, you can play clean power on a 300 watt sub with a 1000 watt rms amp with the gains set right, you won't blow it.

this the first time i do something like this, i'm a bit worried. Does the gain has a gauge with output power?
