Which amp should i get?

Ok guys haven't posted in awhile but just got some new stuff and i figured i ask the professionals I just got 2 10 inch treo tsx subs both are dual 2 ohm. im trying to figure out which amp to buy......i have an MTX 8001 but i cant ever seem to keep it cool enough but i might be wiring it wrong so. but neway i was looking to sell that and get sumtin newer/better so any suggestions? and how should i wire them? my box only has one place where speaker wire can come into/out of but i could always put another set of terminals in if needed. Any help is much apprecited! Thx again!

What's your budget? You'll want a descent 800-1000w RMS amp. Shouldn't be too costly but there's a mile difference in quality.

This will give you a 2 ohm load for your amp.

This Hifonics looks pretty tempting

Ya im likin it, but it says 900 watts RMS at 2 ohms. The subs are rated for 400. Wont that be too much?

those subs will be just fine...i have used their subs since they were introduced back in 1999 or 2000 or whenever that was...the TSX line is a great line of drivers that handle power much better than other comparable speakers (i.e. JL audio). You will be fine running 900 watts to two of them, and if you have the speakers/amp hooked up by a certified shop where you bought the subs then they have a great 3 year warranty that covers pretty much everything, if you blow them somehow then just bring them back to the shop and the manager will most likely swap them out for you. TREO makes a great product that they really stand behind, ive never had a single problem out of mine and i have run the TSi, TSX, SSi, and the SSX lines of subs from them. Its the main line of subwoofers that our shop sells and has been since they came on the market, once customers started seeing what these subs could do and how well they could do it they rarely ask for anything else.
