Default Need good AMP

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

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.

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