I'm getting a new system. Everything is ready, but now I need to get an Amp. I want a nice clean Amp which would be good for rock and metal music, and maybe some rap sometimes. I want something that will be clean and not fuzzy when it hits. Any info will be great.

Are you wanting a mono amp for bass or a 4/3/2-channel? All depends on your needs man, but I've always liked Alpine. They've always been clean for me, but I usually match it with their speakers.

Alpine Products (clicky)

You need to provide us with the numbers, the information you gave us is not enough..

what kind of subs did you buy? what is the rms rating? how much do you have to spend? ported box or sealed?

It depends, I've heard different things from different people. I'm going to be powering 2 12" speakers. I haven't bought the subs yet, those are still pending. I'm asking for some information really. I just don't know anything about Amps. It will be a Ported Probox. (How does everyone feel about MTX Audio?)

We need to know the RMS rating of your subs/speakers and the impedance (ohms) and whether its DVC or SVC. Then we can help you.

basically you want to impedance match your subs to your amp (2 ohm to 2 ohm, 4 ohm to 4 ohm, etc) and not get an amp that will overpower your subs
