Amplifier Question!!!

[mustangowner 10+ year member]

I have 2 10" jensen XS-1010 subs. The can handle 450 watts max and 150 watts rms. They have a 3.49 impedance (ohms). I need an amp that will max these subs out. I have an idea of what amp I want...Here are a couple I have been looking at:

-Bazooka EL1500 (mono)

-MA AUDIO M1889i (mono)

-Sony XM-D500X (mono)

TO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH? any help would be appreciated.

i dont prefer any of those companies, i prefer alpine for there price vs. quality, the amp i have is the alpine MRP-M350, at four ohms it should put out ~150 watts RMS @ 12V, i picked mine up at circuitcity for 150, so u can prolly find it cheaper on the internet, this is also a mono block, class D mosfet, i like it a lot and recommend it

i have a kicker 500.2 that is 250 watts rms x 2 at 4 ohms? and 500x 1 at 4 ohms

i think alpine amps are overpriced for how much power they put out

for cheaper amps, check out lanzar opti, coustic, and profile

I saw this one guys stereo on the net... he had the same subs, and an amp making 300 rms X 1 @ 4 ohms and 500 rms X 1 @ 2 ohms. He said it sounded awesome. Let me know what you think.

Check out Clarion's APA2001, it is a 2-ohm, 400 watt, monoblock amp. Pretty cheap too, MSRP is only 199.99 so you can probably find it cheap on the net.

will this clarion push my subs to the max? I know it says 230 rms x 1 @ 2 ohms, but I have 2 subs that can handle 150 rms each. will this amp have enough power? I'm kinda new on this stuff...
