how about u sell those audioburns, get some subs u can afford to power fully, and then u will be happy, because there is no way u r going to be able to power those on that budget.

ok then give me a suggestion on an amp that would power those with about 900-1000 watts and a price range on the amp.

I am assuming u want 900-1000 watts to each sub, there is still nothing in ur price range that would work, since hifonics is overrated.

since ur subs are 4 ohm u could wire them in series and get about 750 rms to each, if u had 2 ohm subs or the amp was 1 ohm stable it would have worked great, but thats what u get for messin with audioburn.lol (no offense)

is that wattage in rms? and do they have a heatsink and/or cooling fans..

also i jumped the gun and bought the audiobahns, maybe it would be cheaper just to sell em and buy better subs

ur lights will dim like crazy until u do, unless u never turn it up, and both of those amps are overrated, the hifonics only puts out 70% of rated power and the audioburn about 85%, both also have a not so good build so the quality will not be that good

kk, just need to find out if those amps you put up have a way of keeping cool or not.

and do you know roughly what upgrading an alternator costs?

I would bet that those subs would never see 110wrms to them if so not for long.
