depends on the wattage of the subs you are running.A good 2 channel amp probably 120w per channel or so would be fine.

if those subs are rated at that wattage i would suggest a higher power amp than I previously suggested.Go with a 200x2 or something a bit higher along those lines or get one that is bridgeable to 2 ohms at that power output.

i'll second the JBL amps. 600.1 or 1200.1 if you wanna go nuts. tons of power for little price. and havent heard a single complaint about em yet.

i'l third the JBL 600.1 or 1200.1. I have the 1200.1 powering 2 Alpine 10s and they're unbelievable... definately a cheap way to get tons of reliable power. and they're stable down to 1ohm
