1) Lets that I want to run two 10" 225W (450W peak) subs. the subs are 4ohms each. I would run in parallel.(the two subs become 2ohms). How big of an amp should i get(mono)?

2) when wired in parallel from a mono channel amp do you have to multiply the amount of subs by watts of each to determine the size of amp? Peak or RMS?

500W RMS should be fine if u wire down to 2 ohm. Rms is the only thing that matters dont look at max power ever. Wat subs are they?

I was thinking of this MTX sub and box combo

i was thinking of this profile 1000W for an amp

id like to stay around $250 for box/amp/(2) 10" subs (a buddy of mine has a wireing kit he'll let me use), i need to stay under 300

the amp i listed above i can get for probably for about $100 on ebay, the mtx sub/box combo is $130 at crutchfield

hmmm,.....kinda cheap for all that stuff. You wouldn't consider 1 12 that hits really hard?

There is someone on a local Chicago board that has 2 older type r's and a 1000w mono sony amp. All of it in a sealed box. Only wants like $150, you'd just have to make the hour drive to the south side for it. It'll be 5x louder than the equipment you listed for less money.
