What to buy for 600w setup?

[Bloodhound34 10+ year member]

I want an amp to power 2 300w subs. What do I need? What is cheaper, but what will sound better? Should I go with 2 300w amps or 1 600x2 bridged amp? As far as OHMs, what does this matter? Does it have to do with SQ or SPL or what? More ohms=worse SQ and/or SPL rite?

Thanks for the answers,

Which is cheaper?

As far as your other question I have no idea what to buy. I haven't really looked at models, I'm just tryin to find out what I want, and then I was gonna ask if what I wanted would all work and stuff. If you wanna help me could you recommend some subs and an amp? I wanna go for 2 subs that are around 300w RMS. 250-300 is fine as long as they are farily inexpensive. I'd like to spend around 200-400 on the subs and 200 maybe on the amp? I don't really know what I'm lookin at as far as cost. The cheaper the better as long as it will last. I'm not gonna have a competition car or anything, I'd just like a nice sounding system, kinda loud too.

I got a question about a HU if you wouldn't mind answering it.

get a mono (single channel) class d amp. will be more efficient, and you only need a one channel amp for subs.

get 1 kicker kx600.1 that will do roughly around 750w then get 2 atlas 12's for $100, if they still have them or get the 2 15's wich ever they have, AWSOME PRICES

for sound quality, look into a ppi art series a600 amplifier coupled with two older model round 12" kicker solobarics OR bridge the amplifier and run a single 15" round solobaric.

for SPL, look into a cerwin vega 7000 amplifier running 2 cerwin vega vega124's in a ported enclosure.
