Well you dont need two threads...but get an amp that is 200 watts RMS, which might be around 400 peak depending on the amp. Look at RMS though, its more important (see other thread).

well according to your other thread, you have two of the subs, so get a 400 watt RMS amp if its a 2 channel, or around a 600 watt RMS amp if its a mono amp.

i really dont feel like explaining parallel or series wiring, or ohm loads, but theres much more to buying an amp than watts. do a google search, or i might come back and type later if im bored

wow..get a 2 ohm stable amp... if the subs are DVC (dual voice coil) get 2 channel or mono... if you have SVC (single voice coil) then get a mono amp

Stick with a mono class D either way. The JBL 600.1 I recommended in the other thread would work well with your subs as long as you keep the gains all the way down. And if you're really tight on cash, the JBL 300.1 wouldn't be a bad choice (plus you wouldn't have to worry as much about turning the gains up and cranking the volume).

750W x1 @ 1ohms

RMS 250-50WATTS
