dual mono or single 2ch

[idnoiforget]

i have two kicker 15L5's sittin in the back seat of my dakota club cab....wut would someone suggest i do as far as an amplifier...do i want to go with a powerfull 2-channel or two monos...also i havnt picked out my head unit yet..now im only 17 dont have much more money to work with...is it gona matter if i go with a cheap pioneer cd player..i mean will it effect performance that much?..i was gona do a "Lanzar vibe248" amp which should put somethin like 500-800x2 watts, and a "panasonic dehp3500" head unit. if anyone has some good advice or thinks this would be a totaly wrong move please give me your input..also im kinda confused with the kicker subs wiring on the back..i bought 2ohm subs to get the most power out of them the booklet says 2ohm dual = 4ohm load...why is that if they are 2ohm subs in different boxes?

I can vouche for the Vibe 248 amp. My friend has one on his two Pioneer Premier 12's bridged at 4 ohms. Even though it doesnt put out what it says it will it will do at least 550@2 at 2ohms or at least a 1000@1 at 4 ohms. It doesnt break a sweat doing it either so if you have dual 4 ohm voice coil L5's then I think you would be alright with this amp. The only thing that bothered me about it is the fact that to really get anything out of the amp we had to crank the gain all the way up with half of 18db bass boost. Other than that though the amp does pretty well. These amplifiers obviously like to have a strong rca signal to not have to crank the gains to get anything out of them but they are pretty good amps for the money.
