ok, i plan on buying two 12" dual 4 ohm audioque sd2.5 subs.... they handle 500 rms watts, but i plan on giving them 600 each, so that would be a total of 1200 rms between the two. what should i look for when i buy my amp? should it be 1200 rms at 1 ohm? 2 ohms? 4 ohms? thanks.

what voice coils do your subs have

look for one ohm ratings because that's most likely what you will be wiring them down to. they can take much more than 500 each just so you know.

they only come in dual 4s.

it doesn't say on the site what "kind" of coil it is, but it says the diameter is 2.5" if that helps at all.

ok, so you're saying i should look for an amp that does 1200 or more rms at 1 ohm? is that my final load?
