New to the forum looking for amp recommendations

Newbee here looking for some advice. I recently purchased this,
P2l-212 Rockford Fosgate Enclosure with the subwoofers. Here's the specs,

Subwoofer Size 12"
Voice Coil(s) Dual
Impedance (Per Voice Coil) 4 ohms
RMS Power Handling 250 watts
Total RMS Power Handling 500 watts
Peak Power Handling 500 watts
Total Peak Power Handling 1000 watts
Woofer Composition Thermoformed Polypropylene
Woofer Surround Poly-Foam
Sensitivity 86 dB
Frequency Response 26 - 250 Hz

Next is the amp. Tons of research and I still am lost as far as Ohm's, etc..... I'm looking for any recommendations from any of you of what would pair up good with these subwoofers. Mainly looking for a mono amp. Been looking at a few and was wondering if these would match up good?

Set your gain appropriately and the 3 suggestions below would be fine.

Q1-750 Amplifier

Rockford Fosgate R750-1D (R7501D) 750W Monoblock Class D Car Amplifier

Precision Power PPI P1000.1 (p10001) Monoblock Phantom Car Amplifier

They are a bit more power than needed, but its always good for headroom.

as far as impedance (ohms) you would be looking for an amp that does 500watts rms at 1 or 4 ohms to match perfectly with your subwoofers.....in actuality I would look for 750watts rms to compensate for not having 14.4v ( you realistically will have 12-13.5v avg) and impedance rise. the Soundqubed(Audioque)750 sonic suggested is a great choice....you may be able to find a used Sundown sax-125.2 for cheap which is another great option or even the sundown saz-1000d
