I have been out of the car audio loop for a considerable amount of time, so please bear with me.

I am looking to power 2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 subwoofers. I am sure most of you know the specs on them, 350W RMS each, 1200W MAX, 4 ohms. I need a quality 2-channel amp to power the subs. The subs are in a sealed box by the way, 1.25" MDF all around. Price is somewhat of a concern, looking to stay in the ballpark of $300-400 or so.

I have been reading posts that these subs can handle more power than the rated 350W RMS, but I would like to stay on the safe side, not looking to blow the car apart. I have read so damn much lately that I don't know where to begin processing the information. So, any direction you vets can offer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...

400rms for both subs, there are differnt models of the kappa perfect 10.1's, do you have the one with dual 4 ohm voice coils? if so each will produce a 2 ohm load making this amp perfect for you.

My Kappa Perfects are single voice coil, I would assume that means only to go with a 4 ohm load?

it would be a 4 ohm load if you wired each individualy, if you bridged that amp and wired the subs like this:http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2&impedance=SVC4
you could acheive a 2 ohm load
