Need Help Picking an Amp

I recently purchased a box from SuperCrew Sound and 2 Kicker Shallow Mount 10's for 2009 SuperCrew. I was wondering if anyone could help me choose an amp for these subs. I know they are 400 watts RMS, 800 watts peak, 2 OHM.

Thanks.
Alex

it will have to be stable at one ohm, better go with a good amp, not a cheapo, a low end amp wont last with that low of a load. sometimes brands are personal preference, i prefer jl, another person here likes everything except jl, he will chime in at some point.. alpine pdx, some people here have had luck with rockford amps......what is the budget? that is what matters, there are some real great amps, they cost though

Check out audioque.com . They are top notch and they are very reasonable. If you want to buy a fancy name brand go ahead but I have had quite a few and I have settled on audioque they are like a third the price of others.I have aq amps and can tell you there amps are clean and under rated. My aq1200 pushes my 2 re se 10's to the brink. Hope this helps.

Mmmmm rockford 10001bd at 1 ohm

Probably would kill those subs though.

How much room do you have? Two amps is always an option as well.

Ive heard of people running Alpine's MRP-M1000 at 1 ohm, but Ive never seen it done, and dont think its rated for 1 ohm.
