I need a good AMP to power two 600 RMS 4ohm subs
If I ran both of them off one bridged channel, would that be a 1ohm load? Im no expert when it comes to car audio so bare with me:roll:

Should be 2ohms. Are they 4ohm single voice coil? Go with a mono block class D amp. They're usually stable down to 1 or 2 ohms mono and run more efficently then a 2 channel class a/b. I personally like JBL as a budget choice, I know Curtis has had good luck with Hifonics. Ofcourse there's other brands that are as good and better but you'll be paying atleast 2 or 3x's as much.

yea, need a real budget amp
the speakers are dual coil
so I should get a mono amp rated at 1200 @ 2ohm?

they are 10' power acoustic, not all that great (for 20 bucks for both i cant complain a bit, considering they cost like 120 each at BB) I just needed something over my stock system and to get me started

Haven't had alot of experience with Power Acoustic, but reviews usually don't lie. Looks like a decent deal.

(I just kinda stoped "reading" the one that said it blew my speakers, figured that guy must be a complete idiot or something)
