New. Have Subs. Need Amp. (searched)

O.k. Well i'm a huge newbie the the stereo business. The only thing i really know speaker wise are guitar amps, so please be patient with me and thank you for your time in advance.

Well, i have an enclosure coming in the mail with in the next 2 weeks. It's 3 12" Solo-B L7s in a custom box to hit the top hatch area of a 2002 Trans Am. Not sure if it'll fit up there but i really don't care because i don't want it to mess up my Valentine 1 rear detection. I'm probably just going to set it in the back seat for now because i can't have any one in the backseat for 7 months anyways. Eventually i'll have to move this. I could sacrifice the one seat behind me and the trunk but don't want to use the top hatch part that blocks the glass. Any suggestions on boxes? (srry, kinda off topic but y not kill 2 birds with one stone.)

For those who don't know the specs on these.........
Impedance 2 ohms DVC
Cone Materials? - Titanium Deposit Poly
Surround Material? - Rubber Santoprene
Sensitivity? - 89.4DB
Frequency Response? - 20-0.1k Hz
RMS Power Range? - 75-750/per sub - 225-2250 watts per 3
Peak Power Handling? -1500/per sub - 4500 watts per 3

What am i going to use to power these monsters?!?! I don't know if u can run a 1200.1 amp and split it to 400 a piece at 2 ohms....... I just don't know anything about the ohms and amps thing. I don't wanna scrap the box or subs because i personally like them and i got the whole thing for $300.

Thank you for your time and please excuse my ignorance.

the JBL12001 will run at that 1.33 ohm load, and do roughly 1300 watts...perfect IMHO.Or , try one of our Kicker KX12001.
