kicker kx 400.1 I believe is the model #. that will work well with those subs, and wont break the bank. look on Ebay.

yeah it gets pretty loud when I want it too:-) almost too loud sometimes and I am running it sealed, I cant imagine what it would sound like in a low tuned ported enclosure, it would be sickening at notes around 25htz:-):-):-)

I think chad recomends sealed for the Atlas doesnt he? I cant check on that right now for you but I will check it out and get back to you. You tune a box by changing the port size and depth, the smaller and shallower the port the higher the tune, the bigger and deeper the port the lower it is tuned.
