what amp are YOU using to push one 10" L5?

Ive been trying to decide which amp to go with to push one 10" L5 (2-ohm) in a stealthbox. The sub has a 450 watt RMS and handles a peak of 900 watts.

I was thinking of using an Alpine MRP-M350 mono amp, which has a 350 watt RMS x 1 at 2-ohms.

Any other ideas?

You don't want to underdrive the sub. Probly should get at least 450 to it or a little more

So any suggestions?

i dont have any suggestions because im in the same boat! Except i need suggestions on what to use to push one 12" L7. Anybody???

im pretty sure that you arnt suppost to give the sub 100% of what it can handle... if i am not mistaken it is like 70 i think... so that amp will be sufficiant. i power a 10'' Type R 500 rms with that amp and it sounds great.

so id be good with the amp i named?

Generally you are better off having a little extra power then not enough because with too little power you will tend to clip the amp by driving to overdrive it and hurt the sub

so can anyone suggest a better amp?

95-100% of the RMS range is ideal. Otherwise you're going to strain the amp pushing the power.

Try to find something with 425-450 bridged RMS.
