I'm pretty new upgrading car audio, I thought I knew what I needed, but now I'm not so sure. Here's what I have, a Jensen XS 1011BP. It's a Dual 10" Woofer Bandpass System, 600 Watts Peak Power, 200 Watts RMS. Here's all the info I can find on them so far...

Dual 4th order bandpass subwoofer system
Utilizes dual 10" Low-Q optimized drivers
Designed for placement in trunk or hatchback area
Left and right channel inputs
Acrylic plexi viewing window
Requires nominal amplification for thunderous bass output
No crossovers needed for simplified installation
Easy add-on for existing sound systems
Computer tuned acoustic chambers

What sub do I need to power these? One or two channel? How many watts RMS/Peak? TIA

Moat people use amplifiers but you may choose a different method if it suits you.

Get an AMP that has an output of 200 watts RMS. Might want to look at a mono amp for sub, also
