    An old Kicker Kx600.1 would work great or a new Zx400.1

    at 600 RMS i would reccomend no amplifier less than 250 rms and i would only reccomend a amp that is CEA-2006 certified, if it doesn't say that, simply ignore the power rating it means nothing, there is nothing to protect the consumer from companies lieing about ratings, and they do alot. CEA-2006 protects your from that. if you really want high output, i'd reccomend a quallity amp rated at 600 RMS to a 2 ohm load (hook voice coils in parrellel). see the links for some excellent choices, and keep in mind how much physical space you have. I also would reccomend sticking with a class d amp, it takes less draw from teh electrical system with the same output, but is only good for a sub.

    at 600 rms you have lots of choices. IF you want to go with b.s. brands, boss 1200 mono block would do, along with planet audios 1600,and hifonics 5-- .

    ill recommend kicker, sx650.1 its digital, and would be perfect for that

    You also have the cheaper version of the sx, like 150 cheaper i believe, i dk the model, but its 600, kx i think....

    or the zx 750 would be more than enought for the l5

    What is the wattage capacity of the speaker? match the amp wattage and impedance to the speaker, do not exceed the speaker's ratings.

    Perhaps looking at a website that has your speaker for sale will tell you of the speaker's capacity.
