I need help choosing an amp

[chingo40 10+ year member]

I need to know what would be the best amp to powere 2 audiobahn aw1006q's. I want to run them each at 900 watts and bass is more important than anything else. I saw some cheap amps on ebay like a boss powerdrive 4000 watt amp for $329. Can you run an amp at its peak power for long periods of time. Pleas help.

better audio makes a nice amp that you may like

http://www.betteraudio.com

It's 1580 watts RMS -

has 18dB/octave built in Xovers (and a trick little HP slave RCA output)..

Has 24dB/octave variable subsonic filter...

And more protections (including clipping) than you can shake a stick at

That boss...you'll never get it withing a lightyear of 4000 watts

They are dual 4 ohm

ok well if ur getting 2 dual 4ohm subs then u can wire them to get a 1ohm load on the amp, and id go for that beteraudio amp too, thats what i ordered i should be getting it at the end of this week maybe, and its a heck of a deal for 325$shipped

How do i wire them in a one ohm load. do you know where i can find any diagrams

How well would the Better Audio amp handle a .8 ohm load? Would it be too low and overdrive it? It wouldn't be for extremely long periods of time. Also..what's the current draw on that amp?

well i got my amp today, i dunno how many amps it pulls i got it on a 60 amp fuse right now, but of course it was only at 4 ohms when i played it, i bet it would play .8, i just bet it wont be covered under warranty then
