that amp will not work with those subs...the amp will have to be 1ohm or 4ohm stable and produce 800-1000rms..

Link doesn't work, but I'm pretty sure that is the amp that everyone was buying on a budget a while ago. Everyone who bought it was happy and it put out rated power. If you're on a budget then that amp is DECENT, but I would step it up a little bit.

what chauncey is trying to say is that he needs audiobahn a8002V to work with those subs. If you don't like it, then grab a 800-1000w rms amp at 1ohm or 4 ohms

Also since these subs can be 2 ohm or 4ohm and i am going to get them installed by best buy or if you guys have another place that installs susb and amps could you reccomend what kidn of amp am i looking for am i supossed to look at the 1 ohm 2 ohm or 4 ohm on the amps specs because isnt it right that if best buy installs my subs in a parallel that it will be a 2ohm load so then should i look at the 2 ohm on the amps or not?
Can someone explain it to me
