Any 1200W amp that is stable with the subs' impediance that you feel is reasonably within your budget. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif There's too many amps to list.. You'll have to be a little less vague.. Hope it helps narrow it down.

Examples.. If you wanted to run two amps, you would wire the subs parallel to present a 2-ohm load to each amp. The amp would then have to be able to put out 600W to one channel at 2-ohms. Such as this amp: MA Audio HK398

If you want to run 1 amp. You'd do the same thing as stated above.. Only this time, match the impediance for 2 channels with a 1200W rms amp. (2 X 600W @ 4-ohm)

That should help a little more than my first post. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Try again.

He has two 4 ohm subwoofers that can take 600 watts rms.

You have 3 choices:

1) A mono amp. Wire the subs in parallel for a 2 ohm load. Now find an amp that puts out 1200 watts at 2 ohms.

2) 2 mono amps. Find a couple amps (identical) that push 600 watts at 4 ohms. This is probably going to be more expensive.

3) A single 2-channel amp. You actually have a couple choices here:

3a) Find an amp that is 2 ohm mono stable, or 1 ohm stereo stable. Same thing. It would have to put out 150 watts per channel at 4 ohms, for a combined 600 watts per channel at 1 ohm (estimated). It'd be hard to find an amp that does this, so you probably don't want to go this route.

3b) Find an amp that pushes 600 watts per channel at 4 ohms into 2 channels. This will also be kinda hard to find.

My suggestion would be stick with option 1. I was just giving you possible choices.
