Need amp for 12 kicker comp VR's What kind?

[Brent1223 10+ year member]

I have 2 12" kicker comp VR's (the older ones that're black)... I have an audiobahn intake series 400x2 but I don't think it brings their potential out... what kinda amp should I get? And does anyone know the RMS of these subs?

(their the dual 2ohm VC)

Thanks a lot!

LOL go to cardomain.com and look up the RMS and go from there.

but car domain doesn't have the old ones, does it?? That's why I want to know the RMS.... Arent' they different?

BTW, mine aren't the real old black ones, there the ones that were before the tan ones... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

dang, I just realized I'm only putting 200w into each sub... I have the audiobahn 8002T or something like that.... 200x2 @ 4 ohm 400x2 @ 2ohm, but I have to run it a 4 ohm... And it can't handle a 2 ohm bridged load.... Is there any way I can wire it to put out more power? Can I get a 4 ohm mono with 2 dual 2ohm VC????
