CHeck out this one. Sounstream makes some pretty extreme amps.Soundtream

 

i disagree. I don't think you need a SQ amp for your subs. Just somthing that is going to give you the power you need. But it mostly depends on your crossover point. Below 100~80 hz the sound is really not very musical at all, so you don't need a hifi amp. It also depends on the sub. Is it a competition sub for SQ or SPL. If it is For SQ you need a good amp to make it sound good. If it for SPL using a hifi amp is not worth the cost, the sub can only sound so good.

 

Get a Zapco.. the competition series are 1 ohm stable..

 

It's SPL and I am running my crossover below 100, I've got no bass in the other speakers and all bass in the sub.

 

This is kinda off subject.. but if I get a component system, will I need an amp?

 

Yes.. A powered headunit will not give enough power to your speakers..

 

Damn.. well, is there any way to over kill when choosing an amp for it?

 

As long as you get a good amp, that can meet the requirments for the component set, you should be good to go.. Too much power can be corrected by keepoing the gain down, but not enough power will make the speakers distort and possibly ruin them..
