anything that gives them enough power. i wouldnt put any more than 300w to each of those woofers tho

$400 i can sell you a nice amp ,my sale is tomorrow that would be your best time to buy an amp. american bass vfl 100.1 1500 watts rms at 1 ohm would be what your 400 can get new tomorrow plus paypal fees

Thats my max though, wat do u consider besides gettin rid of dem.

just looked up your subs and yes it does say 1200 rms per sub ,but,boss over inflates their specs by alot .the amp i suggest will be fine ,but i think it might be to much power ,so you'd have to be careful and set the gains perfect .because its 1500 rms and underrated ,closer to 2000 rms .run with what you have then come back for better subs ,but you will need new subs with this amp,like i said i just dont think they'll take the power of this amp for long if not set right .
