I'd suggest something that does between 600 and 800 watts at 2ohm. You'll wire the voice coils in parallel.

Anything from a reputable brand should suffice.

Do you have a budget for the new amp? I have some in stock on sale right now.

CG, I've purchased a subwoofer and front component speakers for my wife's car from MR2NR. I, amongst others, will recommend his expertise.

Good luck.

i have a pair of those subs on my 1200 pioneer amp. The dealer at 604autosound said that people where pumping 2-3 times the rated power and they held up no problem.
