For a heckuva lot less money and more power @ 4 Ohms (with two 8 Ohm drivers you'll want to wire in parallel as series wiring would yield you a 16 Ohm load ~ bleh) have a look here and scroll down to the 400SX.

Bridged to a single mono channel it'll give you 300w (your 10w0-8s are rated for 250 RMS combined - 300 ought to be just enough headroom to be more or less perfect)

$45 + whatever shipping is factory-direct with a valid warranty. I can't imagine that shipping would be over $15 so you're looking at $60 for more power as opposed to over $120 for less power with the two options you posted about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i second the profile. I had two 10w0-8's running off 75w apiece, and it was really loud(for what it was). Get the profile for cheap, and it will work great.
