Default New sound system. Need help!

i have 2 Rockford Fosgate 12" subs both 600 rms 1200 peak dvc 4 ohm. what amp do i need to get to power them correctly?

I'd prefer a 2 channel amp but im not sure on how the power output works for this type of setup.

Using a mono channel amp.



Just make sure that the amp your using will be stable with a 1 ohm load

Or if you want to use a two channel amp you can wire them like this. Don't know of too many two channels that make the kind of power you need. You'll have better luck and more choices with a mono amp. Here's one that I've had pretty good luck with.

If they are both 600 rms then you would need an amp that is 1200 rms at 1 ohm.
