I am looking at this JBL sub and I am wondering what Amp would be right to power it. Can someone please tell me how to choose the right amp for a sub, i dont understand what "watts RMS" and "watts peak" means. Also if someone could direct me to a site that will show me how to hook up a simple deck>amp>sub system with the wiring that would be amazing.

Watts peak should not be looked at, it is meaningless. Try and match the RMS wattage for amp subs and speakers.

And here is the site you want
