Is a two channel amp enough to push one Wetsounds 485? The amp is a JBL MA 6002. Specs are as follows: 60X 2 @ 4 ohms. 80X2 @ 2ohms. 160X1. Will that amp adequately power a pro 485?

With that amp you will be under powering the 485. Therefore you won't get the full potential of the speaker. You want something that is pushing closer to 300 watts to it.

In other words, 150 X 2?

Is there an amp you could recommend?

The wetsounds syn 4 will do the trick...

a guy on here http://forums.wakeboarder.com/viewtopic.php?t=89678 used a JL 360 but I don't know if I would put a car amp in a boat

Would it be safe to assume that the syn 4 would work well for two 485's as well if I decide to go w two 485's rather than one?

you are correct in that assumption
