Default Amp

I have a question on an amplifire. Im 16 just bought my eclipse and bought 2 12 MTXV sub's. Im lookin for a decent amp. I found a Legacy LA590 amp for a resonable price and im just wondering if Legacy is a good brand and or if it is a good amp. Thank you!!

They're one of the worst brands. Save your money.

JBL 600.1 would work. I use one, great amp for the money. You can probably pick one up for around $150-$200. There's lots-o-amps out there that would work well for you. I personally would stick with a mono class D amp (sub amp) being they have a low voltage consumption and are usually stable down to atleast 2ohms, giving you more wiring flexibilty.

another amp thats good is the hifonics bx1000. Its around 230$ and its rated at 1000 RMS.

I would rather buy an amp that puts out a lil more power than what ur looking for than something under because you can always turn the amp down
