Recomended amp for 2 10inch Type Rs?

[Chitownss10]

I just recently upgraded from a single 12inch kicker L7 to 2 10inch alpine type Rs in a vented box tuned to 36-37Hz. They're 2ohm type Rs running off of a hifonics HFI1000.1, the guy at my local car audio shop was telling me that hifonics ps aren't the greatest so I was wondering what amp would you recommend for these subs I want to throw around 800 watts rms to each sub. They're the older model with the grey cones I believe are rated at 600 rms and a 1000 peak.

Is there a problem with the current amp? Guy at the local shop wants to sell you a new amp, of course he's going to say it's no good...

this... keep the hifonics if it works, no need to get a new amp if so

unless your itching to buy a new amp, are they dvc 2ohm?

They're both dvc 2 ohm. I'm looking to get a 1600 watt amp I'd like to throw 800 watts rms to them

Budget for the new amp ? Why not run at .5 as well I have a couple of amps that will work for you

Looking somewhere in the 200-250 range and I'm new to the car audio world so I wouldn't know how to wire them down to half an ohm. Would that be bad on the subs?

No the subs will be fine. I have 2 amps that will work for you. One is 1350 rms at 1 ohm. If you run it at .5 you'll get 1500+. It's 270 shipped. The other is 2200 at 1 ohm and does 1500 at 2 ohms. It's 330 shipped. Both are new and have a 1 year warranty

What brand of amps are they? This is a long shot but I have a 12 kicker l7 in a ported box. If at all interested
