[QUOTE="Wonderbread, post: 1180767, member: 541455"] Ok, I'm going to assume that you have two single 4-ohm subwoofers. Look for an amplifier that will produce approximately 400-600 watts RMS (somewhere in the middle would be perfect) with a 2 ohm mono load. I'm not sure what kind of budget you're looking at however. What about a Kicker KX600.1? Ikesound has them for 240 refurbed. Slightly less expensive is the Phoenix Gold x600.1 for 225, also from Ikesound. These are just quick and dirty suggestions, I haven't been looking at amplifiers recently so I'm not really sure what all is out there. Find out the wiring configuration of your subwoofers. You might have dual 4 ohm subwoofers which means you have to look for an amp that will be stable at 1 ohm for 500 or so watts into one channel or an amp with similar output at 4 ohms, both of which will be likely to run you a few bucks more. A little more information might help us out a little bit more. [/QUOTE]
