2 channel 2000 watt amplifier help

[jamie vandenh 10+ year member]

Hey, I am looking at getting 2 15" Fi bl subwoofers...

I need an amp to power these, and i was looking around and saw a few, but i think it would be better to ask people on this forum.

The subwoofers put out 1000 watts a piece, so its 2000 watts overall...

I just need a good suggestion for an amp that can power these 2 subs. I am looking for something on the cheaper end, but i dont want to get a crap amplifier that only puts out like 1000 watts...

thanks

also, what specs would i look for in an amplifier for these 2 subs? like how many ohms and channels

You want a class d mono that puts out 2000rms at the ohm load you are going to wire them for.

Im assuming they are 1000rms each, and not max. Otherwise, you want 1000rms at desired ohm load.

Well, you said the subs put out 1000w a piece, sounds like they can power themselves.

thank you dr. chronic....

but yes they put out 1000 rms a piece

and should i go for the dual 1 or dual 2? what would be the ohm load for that?

Dual 1 wired in series would be 1ohm, thats probly optimal. You dont want to have to find 2000rms at either 2ohm, or .5
