help finding an amp

i am getting 2 kicker cvr 10' subs. i would like to save a few bucks on an amp but i dont know what amps are good for the money. I looked at the kicker amps and some of them are a little pricey. I also looked into the Quantum audio but saw some bad reviews, whats your opinions? what rms should i run and any other suggustions on amps to look at?

Your gonna need an amp that produces 800w at 2 ohm. I would go with the Sundown audio saz 1500d. Rated at 750w at 12.9v so it will do 800 easy. Might be a little pricey but you'll appreciate it in the long run. Oh and amazing customer service at sundown

I put a Kicker ZX400.1 in my buddy's Frontier with a flat 10" Pioneer in a custom built box. That amp is a beast for it's size! If I wasn't a fan of Rockford Amps, I'd go for this little beast!! Good choice!!
