Im unsure what would be the best amp to buy as there are many variables such as class, ohms, watts?

what class do yall think is the best for my setup?

they are 2 ohms subwoofers so i'd like a 2ohms strong amplifier...

finally what would be comfortable watts for my amp to have?

these are my subs

i already have 2 batteries and a line driver matrix ready to be hooked up if that makes a difference on the amp... maybe one with a max signal input of around 6 ? my line driver maxes out at around 5, im not sure if that would matter but just throwing it out there

 
You dont have to many choices with that ohm load. JBL GTO1200, Kicker ZX1000, RF T1000cp. Those would be my options. The JBL would lead for me, but get what you can get the cheapest. You wont notice much of a difference in the 3.

 
Go cheap. You can get an Audiopipe or a Hifonics to power those puppies for around 200 bucks. You should've gotten the 4 ohm though. You could've gotten by cheaper on the amp with the ability to run at 1 ohm instead of 2.

 
well i recently got this amplifier

Bazooka MGA11000H Mono subwoofer amplifier — 1008 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com

so at the time i thought it was best to get 2 ohm DVC subs

until i realized the amp was a piece of ****.

the least i could spend for full power of my subs... i already have 2 batteries and a line driver matrix ready for the hookup

2 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan. if i have 2 subwoofers parallel hookup'd to this amp both being 2 ohms would the rms be 500x per sub?

does it just divide in half?

Also deciding between a few
