well it says on the site you pick how you want the subs wired to get em wired to 1 ohm and get an amp thats stable at a 1 ohm load. done

If your unsure on an amp, I would get it 1 ohm like josh said (dual 4), since there is way more 1 ohm stable amps than anything. Whats your budget for an amp?

i think those subs are like 500-700 rms each right? if im wrong correct me. audiques new amp will do the job. order one of those. new, probably the best value for an amp that puts out that much TRUE power. that amp is 1 ohm stable and will work if you get the two dual 4 ohm subs wired to 1 ohm.

They dont have good sq and have a high failure rate.

well one of my friends has L5's to. i heard his L5's and yea they got loud but they didnt sound to good while doing it. idk im just not into that. those subs dont have much sq but they do get loud. if u only like really loud bass then get em bro theyre for you. if you want something that sounds cleaner but still gets loud go another route. Also i've heard they dont last very long and are known to crap out but hey ive also heard some ppl who have L5's and they last long. its all up to you and your personal preference man. if you like them get em :-)

Well with a six hundred dollars for subs and another 300 for an amp what do you suggest that has good sq and gets loud. sq over loudness....probably the better route. And as for the quee rlook....idk how any sub looks quee r other than the sony explodes.

2 12" RE se's with an Audioque 1200d. And the you can either build a box yourself if you feel brave enough (its not too hard) or have fishercustoms or woodlawn cabinetry build you a box..

2 SE's $325 shipped on ebay
Audioque amp about $300 shipped
Box will probably be around $200 shipped?

That is still under your budget, and you could probably even upgrade to 15's.
