Pick a sub that you like, then match the amp that you need to tie it all in...OR...pick an amp first, then pick the sub that will work best with the amp you chose. Half of the work is done...you have component speakers. Take their RMS power requirement into consideration while selecting a 5-channel. Once you find the amp that best drives your components, take a look at the sub channel and it's specs. Then find the best sub to fit that sub channel. Make sense?
PB82,
I think I remember you running a NVX sub. Is that correct? What did you think of it?
The max RMS on the components is 60w and 50w RMS. So any of the amps will run them.

Last question. If I run the NVX 12 with is rated for 1000RMS and power it with a amp that does 600 RMS. Will I do the sub a disservice or will I get the amp hot or hurt the sub? Or is it better to say run the fosgate 12 with 600RMS with a 600RMS amp?

No sir. Never owned anything NVX. I run a JL 10W7AE.

You'll NEVER hurt a sub with too little power.

I ordered the JL RD 990.5 and the Fosgate P-3 12inch woofer. I will start a new threat when all the speakers and amp gets to the house.
