MTX Thunderform loaded in L amp size?

Presently, in my '03 L, I have a Rockford Fosgate 250m Power amplifier. Currently using with a 10" Elevation subwoofer behind passenger seat in an R/T box, Clarion Power Series door speakers..
ANYWAY, I want to go with an MTX Thunderform loaded with two (2) 10" MTX 6000 subwoofers. Will the Fosgate 250m Power amplifier be aok to use with the additional one (total of 2) 10" speakers?

It will work fine but you could stand a larger ~400-500w RMS amp.

The JL 500/1 Amp is the way to go.

I have a 250w amp running my thunderform box and ill tell ya,It $ucks.Either i need way more power or its a bad design.Im gonna try a much bigger amp before i get rid of the box.I like the looks of it too much.Im not that picky either.i get more bass/sound out of my 5 year old mtx 8" $99 boxes with a 100w amp in my ramp truck

The Q-form install is pretty easy and the drives side one goes right around the parking brake.

I just switched from a bridged 4 channel amp to a bridged 2 channel MTX Road Thunder I paid 63 bucks for brand new...
I had not bad bass with the bridged MTX 404 4 channel.
But the 200 watt amp I installed the other day to dribve my MTX thunderform with 2 10" MTX subs pounds.
It's like having a lower back massage when turned up more than 1 third of the way..and this is with the factory head unit in the 01....
Yeah it could be cleaner at lower volumes but sounds dam good...

Next is a new head unit..Maybe a Pioneer or Eclipse....

If you need more than 200 watts....you will need hearing aids soon...

Some people have put 6.5's in them and it really depends on the speaker. Many 6.5's will not fit. I did a 5 1/4 in mine and put a 6.5 in the doors.
