Do you have the DVC 4 Ohm version or the DVC 2 Ohm versions of the T2's?

If you have the DVC 4 Ohm versions, go with either one of the following wired in Parallel for a 1 Ohm Load.:

Audioque AQ2200D:

Sundown Audio SAZ-2500D:

If you have the DVC 2 Ohm versions, go with either one of the following wired in Series/Parallel to create a 2 Ohm Load:

Kicker ZX2500.1:

Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bdCP:

If you were planning on installing one Amplifier per T2 (DVC 2 Ohm versions), then I would suggest looking into two of the follow Amplifiers below wired in Parallel for a 1 Ohm Load:

Audioque AQ1200D:

Sundown Audio SAX-1200D:

its the DVC 4 ohm subwoofer, and i was planning wire one amp to each subwoofer..but its a lot of unnecessary work...id rather have one amazing amp that will power them both...and will i need to update my alternator? im planning on getting another battery (might take my stock one out and put the new batter in) or might just run both baterys if needed

Yes, you will need to perform the "Big 3" upgrade in your vehicle to support that much Wattage.

If you are on a budget, go with the AQ2200D. If a budget is not a problem, go with the SAZ-2500D. Both links are above in my first post.

Yes, you will need to purchase a HO Alternator. If you do not know where to look for one, I suggest getting ahold of Nate at www.excessiveamperage.com.

As far as a second Battery goes, it is not manditory to install another Battery. As long as your main battery under the hood is powerfull enough, you will be fine.

Here is a link to where you can read up on the "Big 3" upgrade:
