I have just brought a Vibe enclosure that houses three 10" subs with a peak power of 3900w and a RMS of 1300w. It only has one "input" for power. I have been recomended a monoblock amplifier. What sort of power amp should I be looking for? There is a sony mono amp on ebay at the mo that looks ok - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160066095665&rd=1&rd=1

Im not to sure if thats what I should be looking for? Cheers

Probs about £150 pal. I have seen a Vibe monoblock for about that which powers 1200w @ 1ohm for that price so I think that sounds good value for what I want.

would ideally need to find out the voice coil configs, and if its wired in series or parralell as B4L already said

heres a wiring diagram for parallel, you would NEED an amp that will work at this impedance
