Amp suggestions for 2 12" kicker solobaric L5's

 

Unregistered guest
i decided the other day that my 98 cavalier needed more thump, so i went out and got 2 12" solobaric L5's. I heard these are awesome. Now all i need is an amp. They are rated at 600 wats rms each and have dual 2-ohm voice coils. I was wonderin wat kind of amp would power both of these and if i should wire it using 2ohms or 4. Im a noob at car audio so I have no clue what the difference is.

Yea the JBL 1200.1 amp would be fine. Wire the subs voice coils in series and then wire the subs in parralel to the amp.

hold on, i couldnt find the jbl 1200.1 on ebay. and its way too much in the stores. so i found a jbl gto 1201.1 for a very nice price. im pretty sure this would work just as well but i need sum feedback to see if you guys agree.

I would take the Solo Barics Back and Get Comp Vrs. Then you will have more money to buy an amp but the comp vrs are better. Heres a Site that tells what subs,amps,cd players, etc. are the best and which ones suck.

This should help.
In my Opinion, All the Solo subs from kicker arent as good as Comp/Comp Vr. Plus Kicker Comp VR 12" can be found on ebay for cheap.
