Something around 900 watts or so at 1 ohm.

With that setup you will have to pretty much buy a mono amp...VERY VERY few two channels can be bridged and handle 1.34 ohm daily, pounding.

Just set the gains carefully with a digital multimeter and you'll be fine

900 watts RMS. Max power doesnt mean squat, dont even pay attention to that number. Just a BS number thrown out there.


For a new amp with warranty, that Hifonics that Impact linked to wouldnt be a bad purchase. Not exactly a high end amp, but a VERY popular budget amp that will more than work.

Go with the JL 1000/1 mono. It is a pricey amp, but I believe that it is 1000 watts stable between 1.5 and 4 ohms. I have one in my truck and I love it to death. In my PERSONAL opinion I believe that it is the best amp made. Nut like I said, the y are a little pricey, I was lucky enough to snag one from my buddy for $400, but I have seen them sell new in specialty audio stores for over $1200. But if you want the best you can get, then go with JL!
