Want to look for around 500rms at 2 ohms for that box

my suggestion is the jbl 600.1. that should be plenty of power for those, its usually around 200USD

Krelkor,

So, if I plug the 2 subs to that amp, I'll be fine ??? The subs are around 600W each at 2ohm !!!

Would that force the amp ???

I'm sorry for so much questions, but I don't know that stuff !!!

From the specs you posted (from the link).

the whole box gives a 2ohm load and is rated for 600rms watts. (so I would presume there is only 1 Neg and 1 Pos wire coming out of that box...

So u need a 1 channel amp or a 2 channel bridged amp, (that will be able to go down to 2 ohms (not many do...only the more expensive higher quality ones)

Check out JL audio's site, as they have a schematic's areas on their site which showes you how to wire subs to give you specific ohm ratings, using different rated subs..etc..

Out of those brands, I would suggest 2 of the MTX6500Ds...

Other options include Orion 1200D, USA-1000X, or if you can find someone willing to sell a PPI-PC21400.... [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]
