I'm getting 2 10" kicker subs that have a peak power of 600 watts, and a range of 5-300 rms and i need an amp to power them, but i don't know exactly what to look for in an amp that would power them to their full potential. Am i looking for the rms wattage? and if so should it be around 300?, or am i completely wrong? I need help!

What is the configuration on the subs? Yes you should be looking at the RMS. 300rms should be more then enought for those 10's. What is your budget?

what ohms are the 2 subs rated... 2 or 4? I believe thats what he was asking, because you will need to know that in order to find a suitable amplifier.

Ok the subs you are looking at are kicker compvr (cvr) they are 300 rms each so you will need a amp that will do 600 rms. I would get the dual voice coil 4 ohms. it will save you money on an amp because if you get the 2 ohm subs you will have to find an amp that puts out 600 rms @ 2 ohms which is generally more expensive than an amp that will put out 600rms @ 1ohm, which you will need if you get the 4 ohm subs. I hope that makes sense.

You could also get the dual 4 ohms and put an audiobahn a8002t or a8002v to them. they look different but performance wise are the same the difference is the T is last years model and the V is this years model. that wouldnt cost a whole lot. You can get the A8002V on ebay for about $150 shipped. so if $150 is what you wanna spend go that route.
When i posted that last post i didnt see that you wanted to spend no more than $150 on an amp.

yep. 2 dual 4 ohms run at 4 ohms...they can also run to 1 ohm, but those abahns are 1 ohm stable.

yes i am positive that would work with 2 dual 4 ohm cvrs.

why not get the 1 channel a8000v, and get the dual 2 ohm subs though?
