I am definitely a Newb! Not only to the forum, but car audio in general. I have searched and learned a little, but have a long way to go. So.....please be gentle.....and dumb it down for me.

I am looking for amp recommendations for a single kicker 8" L7 and a set of Alpine SPX-177R components. I know the sub is not the best SQ sub out there. The space I have is limited and I already have the box for my truck. I do not have the sub yet, so I will have the option of either the 2ohm or 4ohm.

Do the # of watts to the sub have any bearing on SQ with this sub?
I have considered the Alpine MRV-F345(enough RMS?) or the MRV-F545(too much RMS?). What do you guys recommend?

Thanks for the help.

do you want one amp or two amps?

you should get a mono 1 channel amp that is 500 rms x 1 for the sub and a 2 channel that is 75 rms x 2 for the components

I can go with two amps....if that would be best.

What amps do you recommend? I do not need the top end. I want quality at a decent price.
