if those are dual 2 ohm subs, that would be a good amp.

mtx 801d, memphis 500d, jl 500/1, etc..

there are alot of amps that would fit the bill quite nicely.

Hey onebadwagon, glad to hear someone that gets the difference. Check out the Kenwood KAC-8101d and Clarion DPX1000.0.

Both go to "digital" Right after the input isolation.

check out the eclipse 7122 if you want an amp that goes digital and makes power.

kenwood hasn't made an amp worth a pile of beans in it's life, and the clarion amp that you are talking about is a joke IMO.

IMO i think your opinion is a little misguided the new clarion amps are pretty damn nice, they are practically the same amp as the arc KAR series

That (not all) Clarion amp is based off of an Arc audio design (licensed from Arc). It’s NO joke. It uses the TriPath TA0102a Class-T driver. Is just great, flat out.
