Please recommend an amp(s) that will work best with 2 of these subs, without breaking the bank?

I'm using an older pyramid 1000 watt amp. It hits hard, but it can handle a lot more power.

I have an alpine mrv-m500 amp that gives 500 RMS at 2 ohms. It still hits hard and sounds great. But as long as the amp can handle a 2 ohm load and has at least 600 RMS your fine I would check out some amps on here that have those specs and I only have one sub not two!!!

Two subs is definitely not a waste of money depending on your room. If you have nulls and voids a dual sub setup could help fix that.

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.

get the pyle 3000W hybrid and that should work perfectly unless you feel like buying real expensive amplifiers.

It shouldn't have a problem pushing both. Just make sure to invest in a good quality box for the subs. Perhaps a pro box.

should be powerful enough to drive 2 kicker sub's...not recommended for power hungry sub like sundown and focal or alpine type r's

Eric, go with the Rockford Fosgate Prime 250x1 mono block amp. It has a very small footprint, very affordable, and these amps, in my opinion, are still one of the best on the market. These amps are always underrated, come with an actual RMS rating tested by the manufacturer, and will be plenty of power to push a 10" sub. It will not disappoint.

Nope. I have a hifonics 1000rms and its jist perfect. So beat bet, get one good amp or 2 decent ones for those subs. But i omly have one and people hear me a few blocks out.

Yep. Try to get a 4 ohm total load to the amp (A pair of 4-ohm/coil DVCs will do it). 400-600wrms subs with a low Q would be ideal for your application. These amps have awesome crossovers (24db/oct) built in. Cheers

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

I'm on a budget, and am using a Yamaha YST-SW216 powered sub (around $130 here), which works fine.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

I would say no, this is pretty weak. I have one 15 or 17 inch sub and this doesnt compare to the previous one that I blew out. I'm not very knowlegable on other amps but because I have this one, I would say try to inquire about another one. lol

A bit late on my response, but personally I would go with the Polk. Read up on the issues that these have with Amps and fuses popping and the only option is to replace the Amp (About $160 plus shipping). One Amp replacement puts this sub into a totally different price range with subs that are better for the money.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.
