Ok, here's one amp, Ample Audio Exonic 1500 DX:

Exonic Class D Monoblock Car Amplifier

RMS Power Rating:

4 ohms: 800 watts x 1 chan.

2 ohms: 1200 watts x 1 chan.

1 ohm: 1500 watts x 1 chan.

Max power output: 3000 watts

Here's the other amp - Ample Audio A414X - I think this amp might be for the car speakers and not the sub but, I'm not sure.

Bridgeable 4 Channel Amplifier

72 W RMS x 4 (4 ohm)

100 W RMS x 4 (2 ohms)

200 W RMS x 2 (4 ohm) Bridged

140 W x 4 MAX

Not to nitpick, but you never have to worry about if an amp can handle a sub. It is impossible to do damage to a subwoofer by underpowering it. In a civic, I would either go with 2 10s or 2 12s depending on how much room you have/want to use. 2 12s on 1500RMS would yield the most output, if you have the space.

yeah your not gonna be able to power 2 of em very well. just get one. they look to be DVC 2ohm so you can run your amp at 1 ohm and get all of that 1500 watts of powaaa. now just build a good box and your all set my man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

sorry if this is dumb but did you mean 1500RMS on each sub or total?

i think i asked earlier what model/brand you were selling but, I don't remember if you replied.

although honestly it would be much easier for me to just change out a sub than the entire setup amps..etc.. plus quicker having to sell the current stuff etc.. too much hassle.

Street Duty SDC2.5-12-D4 Subwoofer . I would go with 2 of these brand new. Then I would get a design from someone off the forum (RAM_designs for instance) and spend the rest on the box, and maybe an eq/linedriver depending on your headunit

Im sorry but how do they look like they are 2 ohm subs? lol

 

[Chriszle 10+ year member]

You have 1500 RMS on tap, so it would be 750 per sub.

hahahahaa i didnt mean it literal lmao. the guy said 2+2 resistance on the ad, so im taking that as DVC 2ohm lol
