[QUOTE="Betrayer00GT, post: 3716033, member: 582890"] Yes, one of the typical 2-ohm stable monoblocks is now a good option. You could series the voicecoils on each sub together, then parallel the two subs and send that 2ohm load to a typical 2-ohm stable monoblock like those Kickers. Alternately, you would want a pair of stereo amps, or a single 4 channel amp. Then you series the pair of coils on each sub to make a pair of 4ohm loads, then bridge a basic stereo amp (or half a 4-ch) into each of those subs. You could get a pair of Profile California-series 400SX (for 300w RMS per sub, 600w RMS in total) and it would cost you ~$100 (out-the-door), plus you'd have a 1yr warranty from Profile.

Plus a pair of the CA200 models at the top of that page, actually. I have the two voicecoils of my dual-2ohm 15" sub wired in series and run off a bridged 400SX.
