Default amp questions..

Ok so i have to alpine type S speakers on right now and i think the sound is still pretty bad tbh. What type of amp would you guys recommend? please include wattage, rms etc.. And also along with the speakers i was thinking about getting two alpine swr 10's. What type of amp should i get for those. Im new to all of this so i would appreciate the comments.

Are you running these off the bose amp "should not even be trying that" Stock head unit?

If you ran these off a new head unit did you make sure to run all new wiring and use the crossovers they came with?

Sounds like he tried using the factory wires ask him if he ran all new wires and ran them directly to the outputs of the new head unit.

Yea we did all of that. but the speakers dont sound that bad, I just like listening to music really loud, and once i hit 24 the sound gets pretty raspy. So ive decided to just get an amp for my speakers, im not sure which one to get tho.

Well you have an aftermarket alpine so check out the power pack that should give you the power your missing.
