id doubt it, might do 400 rms at tops, try going with brands that put out rated or more(kicker, soundstream, sundown, jbl,etc.) a 600w kicker amp is waaaay more powerful than a 2000w lanzar/boss/pyle amp.and 600 TRUE watts is all you need.

if u have a low buget, you migh also want to look into a 1000w hifonics amp.do a little less than rated but it'l be plenty for your subs.

What is the max of your budget?? At 100,its going to be hard to find a quality amp to bang those subs,but at 2 or more of course,you will have more of a selection of new amps,and some real powerhouse old school amps.The classifieds on here,may have something better than what you are looking at? You may be able to find an amp at and or above the 100db range,and with less distortion as well.That Lanzar amp is ok,but i feel that there may be a better amp out there for you.Look a bit more, and compare the specs as well.

2ohm svc? and yea but you should see what amps are one ohm stable first.i would set aside atleast 150 for a good amp.and an amp with more watts is kinda good, so if you ever decide you want to go bigger you wont have to get another amp,just set your gains properly and it shouldnt be a prob.

Kicker will be hard to find in your price range, but you can try.

The budget brands I like are, Hifonics, MB Quart, and Soundstream.

So, maybe one of these.

SOUNDSTREAM RUB1.1000D 1000 WATT RMS AMP CLASS D MONO AMPLIFIER MONOBLOCK 2000 | eBay

HIFONICS ZEUS BRZ 1200.1D Brutus Series 1 CH MONO AMP | eBay

MB Quart ONX1.1000D ONYX Series Class D - Monoblock Amp | eBay

And if you need some wiring, I can hook you up just PM me, I've got all the stuff.

wires i got enough for three cars lol but thanks and i got a soundstream but its a 130 watt tiny another stupid question if my subs are 600 each and i get say a 800rms amp when hooked up does that go like 400rms to each sub? or 800 each side?

400 Each. Also remember impedence when you are wiring multiple subs. If you subs are Dual Voice Coil 2 ohm, you'll wire to 2 ohm, Single Voice coil, it'll be 1 ohm.

I doubt they will handle 600 watts unless they are the 15's....

If you connect both subs to one channel they will share the channels power. So 400 each sub...
