[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8754443, member: 681842"] No you dont need a 2 channel amp Use a mono channel I'll give you the shortest ohms law description ever Car audio speakers are usually but not always 4 ohms or lower perd voice coil Most subs come with dual voice coils usually in dual 4, dual 2, or dual 1 A dual 4 has a final load of 2ohms, dual 2 has a final load of 1ohm and a dual 1 has a final load of .5 ohms Amps power ratings are in ohms so lets say a 1000 watt amp ratings will look something like this 650 watts @ 4 ohms 800 watts @ 2 ohms 1000 watts @ 1 ohm The ohms rating your amp is running at is determined by the speakers Now what you want is a mono channel amp that is able to run at 1 ohm (some are only good to 2 ohms so make sure its good down to 1 ohm) 2 dual 4 ohm 8" subs will give you a 1 ohm load which will get the most out of the amp Bobby is right about mounting depth You can't use the the stock amps power wire its not even close to big enough Depending on what amp you put in the min is 4 gauge wire but I would go with 2 or 0 but that's me You can use a fuse tap for your remote wire Just tap the sunroof or the wipers and run that back to the amp I'm not sure what loc you have but if you want it work properly it need to at the very least have a line driver built in to boost the signal . They are not that much money. Yes splice int to the sub wires. The box is going to be everything here I would look into having one made that puts the subs under the back seats facing outward Ported is a must IMO As for equipment If it was me I would do 2 SSA F8L's [URL]https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/f8l-8-650w-rms-subwoofer-by-ssa/[/URL] Running off an Sundown Audio SFB 1500 [URL]https://www.woofersetc.com/c-3-amplifiers/c-27-one-channel/sundown-audio-sfb-1500d-monoblock-1500w-rms-class-d-amplifier-fullrange-full-range.html[/URL] Or a Sundown Audio SIA 1750 [URL]https://www.down4soundshop.com/sundown-audio-sia-1750/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
