Beautiful Subs
I just picked up this awesome sub and enclosure for an insane deal, $340 after taxes down from $599 before taxes from Visions in Winnipeg. I now need to know what my best amp for running it would be. Specs are 720wRMS and 1500peak. I think its a beautiful beast, but then again I'm new to the car audio scene. Polk Audio db212-2

With a final load of 2ohm I personally would be looking for something in the 750-1000rms range at that impedence.
Which amp depends on your price point, physical size, and features of the amp.
A DLS A3 bridged at 2ohms is a stud of a amp at that load and a quality piece. Just a quick suggestion.

Hardwrkr any idea where I could find those in Winnipeg, Manitoba, or even Canada? They do look very nice. My price range though is under $500 after tax and preferably as cheap as will run these nicely. I want to see infants explode when listening to this thing.

A3's gonna be around $450-500USD from a US dealer which would be the cheapest way to get one. It's still going to be over your budget of $500Cdn though.
Look around for a decent price on a Pioneer PRS-D3000SPL also which would be a great choice that can usually be had for a great price.
Also there's a Orion 2500D on this site here

Which will do more than enough at 2ohm with 1200rms there (set gains correctly and you'll be just fine) and has tons of extra ***** if you decide to get higher power handling drivers in the future. It's overkill for sure with basically only using half of what the amp can do but it's a fine amp that could be had for a great price (try to get it for $450 or less).

Those look like great subs for a cavalier. Polk is usually good stuff!
MTX TC8001 would give you a 800 rms @ 2 ohms.
750 canadian or 308 US. Make any sense to you?
I went looking for pictures from my old cavalier, sorry, can't find them.
