LOL!! That actually reminds me of myself a few years ago....and a lil bit of me right now cause i have crappy fronts at the moment...which i hope to fix soon.
Anyways, i personally dont care whether i use a monoblock or 2 channel amp, BUT, the monoblock is in alot of cases the better choice. It depends on the 2 channel amp really. If i can get a 2 channel big enough to power the subs in stereo mode, i kinda prefer it JUST in case i ever decide to use it towards something other than subs one day. But monoblocks in alot of cases will double their power as u load them down (usually more efficiently than 2 channel amps, at least with the ones i have used so far). I could be way off with this simply because i havent used any GOOD amps yet. Best amp i have used so far was my MTX 225HO....R.I.P. It still holds my door open when im bringin groceries in from the car, so i guess its still being put to use. I just hope to fix it one day. ......which by the way is a 2 channel amp also...

I think that you should keep the amp for now and buy some good subs and get the proper box built for them. Down the road upgrade the amplifier.

Like the excelon

I ran this excelon amp with 2 12 kaptions and it pounded the crap out of the 98 saturn that I owned. It was pumping so hard that one day the screw from the sunvisor fell out .. it actually rattled a screw from the front of my car loose! In My Opinion that is pretty good!

So what exact model number and brand of sub did you get? This info must be known before you just run out and buy an amplifier.
