What is required to power 2x900w Subwoofers

[youdoofus]

for some decent bass, youre going to want to find something that puts out a few hundred watts RMS. Those big numbers are severely inflated that they emblazoned across the front of the amps

So when looking for an amp to suit the subwoofer the two RMS values need to match (Or the amps needs to be higher)? 

I assume also that If  was to use a amp that had a lower RMS I would be stressing it too much as it is above RMS constantly resulting in the situation i ended up with the amp blowing up?

not really, but you can blow the subs because of having the gains set too high to get more boom out of the amp. RMS is the actual power the amp is capable of putting out safely. can you get alphard audio where youre at?

Ah ok.

We dont have Alphard Audio themselves but they own Deaf Bounce in the UK i think https://deafbonce.com/uk/amplifiers/

Edit Deaf bounce don't have any products online and no store in Ireland so ignore that then.

Ok, I think I understand a lot more about what I am looking for when pairing subs and amps, there is a lot to know which i didn't expect.

I see that for a good quality amp that delivers the power I need are quite expensive and well above my budget of £100  seeing the whole enclosure only costs £150 new.

I may just save up and get a decent amp, was double checking 2nd hand amps and most of them are either those auna ones we were looking at (Which i found bad reviews elsewhere online about) and some other brands stating 1000w-1500w max with no RMS values stated, best i saw was a 1500w max amp that had 2x 750w max but no stated RMS.

Thanks for your help on this
