Your amp is probably rated at it's peak power.
If you find a couple subs that are rated for 500watts you should be just fine.

Dude, post as much info as you can, my crystal ball is not back from service at S&S Electronics yet..... post the model# of the amp at the bare minimums or you are going to be shooting in the dark when it comes to buying subs.

Make sure you buy from a reliable seller while getting the best deal. Ill send you some links when I know which amp exactly you have.
or you could buy local .... there are several dealers located close to you. Some are on this site and one even on this thread... I'd personally give the locals a chance to serve before "audiosavings.com sonicelectronix.com, crutchfield.com" although I personally have nothing against any of them either. Just makes testing and service much easier.

Just my .02. Gonna need more info on your amp though...

Are you a vendor on this forum? I'm a vendor on here and I think not too many of the vendors would be very happy with your spamming of your website on here.

O.K. so it's about 900 rms at 4 ohms. I'd say a couple subs rated at 4-500 rms would work nicely. I'd get the ones that'll allow you to run two of them at a 4 ohm final load. Either 2- 8 ohm SVC or 2-dual 4 ohm subs.
