What is a good brand amp to use with these two? Also, since theyll be around 2000w do you think ill need a separate battery or capacitor? Thanks. |

You should get an amp that does around 500-600 at 4 ohms. http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm if those can handle a true 600w then that amp would power them fine, and it is a great amp too. And no you will not need an extra battery or a capicitor. |

Bronze Member Username: Vivi2000Post Number: 89 Registered: Aug-07 | ok yes you are right, I thought you meant 2 as in the 2 in the enclosure. Well then you need to find an amp that does 1200 at 2 ohms. I would get something like this. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19581 |

New member Username: Suys4uceMemphis, TN USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-09 | I guess selling them might be a better idea, since they dont perform as well and having 4 takes up alot of space. What are some good brand 12's (maybe even 15's) that you would recommend? I got a price budget around $500. |
