My Dodge hemi gets better mileage at 65 than it does at 55.
Liken that to a speaker. There is going to be a sweet spot in the power rating, where the speaker couples with the box wonderfully and gives you the sweet boom boom you crave.Speakers are rated at a sensitivity, a continous rating, and a max.
You want an amp that is roughly 1.5 times the continuous rating.
Underpower the speaker and you'll think the amp is crap.
Overpwoer, and replace the speaker.Any modern pro amp will do you. Figure the proper SPL, etc.
QSC PLX, Crown, Lab Gruppen, Digam, are all good choices.
