And what will you be powering with these amps?

Im not sure yet i only have 2 12" Dual subs in the bandpass box the subs are 1100 watts peak and 400 rms. Im planning on getting new subs soon something more powerful. Theyre going to be 12" im not sure what to go with yet tho.

neither? i'm not a fan of kenwood, i had one a couple years ago and it ran real hot and i DOUBT it put out its rated power.

Get peak power out of your vocabulary. Rms is really what you look at.

As far as amps, I would go elsewhere. Alpine makes nice decently priced amps. Then you can switch over to alpine type r's with are very decent subwoofers.

You can't go with with Fosgate. The P5002 is a good amp.
