Need Help Purchasing An Amp for Two 10" Eclipse Titanium Subs

[JRoemer12]

Early next week I'm going to be purchasing two 10" Eclipse Titanium Subs and a box for them for $450 dollars. One sub is new, still in the retail box and the other is slightly used. I've read online that each sub can handle 1500 watts rms and the guy selling them said the same thing. I own a 2006 Pontiac G6 and I need help finding an amp to power both subs for a total of 3000 watts rms. What amp would you recommend for about $700 + or - $100. If you can go lower, price wise that is fine too. I'd also like the amp to resist overheating, since my current one overheats. What would be a good capacitor so my headlights don't dim? What type of wires should I purchase? Would my stock alternator and my single battery be able to handle the load? Sorry for all the questions, the last sub I had installed already had the box, sub, and amp so I just took it in and the professionals who installed it picked out the capacitor and the wires. I'm going to get it professionally installed again, I just need help collecting all the parts. Sorry for my ignorance and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wouldn't run that much power on a stock system. Preferably get a high output alternator, non-preferably get another battery. Avoid getting a capacitor. As for an amp recommendation, we'll need to know the resistance (amount of ohms) for the subs. I'll look up some wire gauges later when I gots some time, just find out the resistance of the subs.

Personally I would run an Audioque 2200D on them and be done. It will work great and get plenty loud enough. You will need to upgrade your stock electrical though.

I would just give them 500 watts a piece and call it a day, they don't need crazy amount of power just to get loud.
