I recently bought a pair of momo mm12 12' for my car. I don't know much about amps and was wondering how many watts to get and how many channels it should have. Anyone have any suggestions????
Thanks

The MM12's are 500 watt subs if memory serves.

Youre probably going to want a Class D mono amp and so youd be wanting something in the 800-1000 watt range. Here are a couple good places to look around.

Most car amps are class A/B, class D's are newer to car audio. Class D amps are more efficient than class A/B's, they can produce alot of power without taking as a big hit on your electrical system. They have been mainly delegated to subwoofer duties for a couple of reaons. First they had issues with the frequency response over 200-250Hz, but this has been worked out now as you see full range class D amps around (Ice-Power), they have also not been as "clean" as the class A/B amps (not really an issued for driving a sub).
