from personal experience, i would feed each of them about 700RMS a piece (will get loud, but wont sound shitty, if your box is decent).

Ive mostly worked with 15" R's, but i just put a 12 in my girlfriends bro's car. It likes right around 750RMS ported before it starts sounding snotty.

I ran a rockford t1000.1bd on the 2 12's i had and they loved it. That was about 700-750 watts to each and they took it all day long no problems.

no you can run as many subs as you want it will just be splitting the power. also are your subs 4 ohm DVC? if they are get an amp that is 1 ohm stable for the power you want. if they are dual 2 than you gotta to find an amp that can put out your power at 2 ohms or .5 ohms so most likly you want 2 ohm in that situation. this will help you out.

well you have pictured a dual 2 but a link for a dual 4 ohm? so look on your actual woofer. see if it says 1242 or 1222.

alright well in that case. you need to find and amp that puts out the power you want a 1 ohm.i dont see you finding a decent amp that will put out 1000 RMS for 100 bucks. your probably going to need to step up your budget to even afford a hifonics.

do you guys have any diagrams of how to connect 2 subs to a mono amp? do i just use distro blocks?

if you click on this link i have you above it shows you how you need it to be wired to get a 1 ohm load.
