well, those subs are rated at 125@4ohm watts RMS. so after you put both into the box, you'll wire them in something called PARALELL.. so both of these subs will become a 2 ohm load. this will increase the power they would recieve drastically.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

well, where we live, we don't really have A LOT of choices to choose from.

go for JBL

or look into buying a JBL amp, they rock for the price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

here's a 2 channel amp:

http://www.epinions.com/615028_JBL_180W_x_2_P180_2/display_~latest_prices

it is 180 watts x 2 at 2 ohms .. youll run your subs @ 2 ohms, so they'd recieve 180W each. and i read a review in CARSOUND.COM about this amp, and it said it,

"The P180.2 performed quite well during our testing session, meeting, and in most cases exceeding, its published specs."

get a jbl 600.1, class d amp that will push those subs fine, just turn the gain down on the amp and it will pound those subs!!!!!!!

i was gonna suggest that amp, but arent the " XXX .1" amps only mono?

doesn't that mean they only have 1 channel ?

Yes they one have one channel. You just wire your subs together in parrallel or series and you are only gonna need one channel //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

As long as they are the Comps and not the CompVR's, a 300.1 would do the job just fine. Depending on the space you have, you might also consider a single 12" CompVR ported and the 300.1, I think it would spank the 10" Comps for about $275 total.

a ported 12" KickerCompVR probably would do spl better, and it would be cheaper.

but it all depends on what my friend wants. and we don't know how to make ported boxes really, like how to tune them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif DAM TUNING!

or wait, do sealed boxes need to be tuned? or is that only bandpass
