a 500 watt sub woofer puts out 250 RMS a 500 watt amp puts out the same and if you want a good setup get a sub with RMS and a amp with 1200 max so 600 RMS will be powering the same 500 RMS sub woofer then you can tune it to push the sub woofer a bit and the sub woofer should take it
I recommend ether
mono single channel
2 channel
brands
go name brand if u want support later

You must first check with the guide to your subwoofer. Either you can probably find it online , but you need to know the RMS wattage for the subwoofer. Than buy an amp that can put out the same number of watts and the RMS is for the subwoofer.
A passive subwoofer doesn't have a built-in amp and will require the use of an amp.
Buy a cheap Jensen amp the 250watt 1.
The amp is right next to the subwoofer. They are both located behind the rear driver side panel.
You can get an 18" Pyle subwoofer but you will also need a large amp for it.
Between the front seats, mounted in the same enclosure as the speaker. The only reason I know is I blew the subwoofer and when I pulled it, I found the amp!
Yes a subwoofer can be plugged into a stereo without an amp but it wont sound good and wont hit anywhere near as hard as if you had it runnin through an amp... get an amp
It depends on the power rating of the subwoofer.
no of course not you idiot
in fact , some subwoofer with amp. you don't need buy amp. give you one good guide http://www.12vcity.com
Yes, you can use a 500W subwoofer with a 1000W amp. Just be cautious not to crank up the volume too high to avoid damaging the subwoofer. Make sure to properly set the gain levels on the amp to match the subwoofer's power handling capabilities.
Wire the subwoofer to and AMP and the amp has to be directly hooked up to your battery. There is a second wire that is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the keys are turned. This turns the Amp on by turning on a relay in the amp powering the sub. And connect the ground to something steel in the car.
