those subs prolly take 300 rms ,dont look at max ratings ,they will get you in trouble ,also you need an amp that will give you the power you need at 2 ohms and more at 1 ohm.also a budget would help .

About 180 at most, I would prefer if it was less but this is absolute max. If you could give me some suggestions, that would be great!

Also, Why wouldn't I get one that will give me the power I would need at 4 ohms? I thought that was what it needed, forgive me for not knowing, this is my first set up.

View attachment 26540309your subs are single 4 ohm subs ,when wired together you'll get a 2 ohm loud.so you need an amp that for subs .i have a really nice autotek amp that is 1 ohm stable .its rated at 5oo rms at 1 ohm and 300 rms at 2 ohms.but it's very under rated ,it puts out closer to 1000 rms at 1 ohm and 600 at 2 ohms which would be perfect for your subs.its used but in pretty much new condition .also has the bass knob and cord 200 shipped .i have pics to

Well how much do you think a decent amp will run me, Im looking for a new one (Sorry, I just don't want to have to worry about anything) that will run those 2 subs and nothing else. I would like to have some money left over to put towards other projects but if not that's fine. Link to a good amp would be nice if you could get me one.

I ran it for 4 days and have the original box and receipt I have the owners manual as well as all the hardware that came with it, it looks brand new and is actually the amp that Sony recommends for this subs on their website I paid 160$ for it and ill turn it loose for 90$.. Pm me and I'll send pics .

If you're worried about warranty and whatnot, I'm pretty sure mylows10 is authorized so you'll get the same manufacturer warranty anyway. Stay away from Sony amps or you're going to be spending more money down the road anyway.

150 or less would be fine with me
