Answer 1

Any amp that puts out around 1000 watts rms at 4 ohms.

Answer 2

Any CEA-2006 compliant amp that's 1000 watts RMS @ 2 ohm with the subs wired like this - http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg



If your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to:



1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator

2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery

3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire.



Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.



Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

Answer 3

well sparky gave the technically correct answer, but those subs are overated another words 501 watt would likely blow them, and with 500 watts to each them i suspect you would blow them for .. i recomend looking for a amp around 600 watts rms into a 2 ohm load (300 each sub). just to be a bit safer. from the price you paid i assume you would not be able to afford to replace them easily...

also build the box to the EXACT specs for a sealed enclosure., cheaper subs tend to be less forgiving on the enclosure size. plus incorrect enclosure size effects the power handling. but don't listen to the others about being cheap subs, fact is you have two and with 600 watts you will get some decent bump in the trunk, but you gotta be gentle with um, because they will blow alot easier then say a kicker would..

Answer 4

go with an amp that has like 1200 watts rms or alittle over 1000 watts rms to you can turn your amp down alittle and that way you dont overwork you amp.plus when most amps say that they put out so many watts really they put out less than that.MTX underrates there amp I have a 1200 watts MTX amp and on the papers that come with it it really puts out 1326 watts .So best choice would be to go with MTX.

Answer 5

alright first of all you have two of the worst speakers you can buy. i mean look at the price. with those subs you should only be needing a 300 watt amp because im sorry but those subs SUCK!

Answer 6

I agree with shane. Those subs arent that great. You really get what you pay for. Lean toward audiobahn by my preference. Also, power acustik amps OWN!
