    ok let me explain picture 1 you need a 2ohm stable amp pumping 800w rms @ 2ohm

    picture 1 you need a 2 channel amp pumping each channel 400rms at 4ohm or near it

    i would go second way you dont stress the amp

    dont look at max wattage, that's pointless, look at the RMS/ohm watt ratings, as that is what you will actually be using. you will very rarely hit peak wattage.

    see i dont have the subs, box, or a amp.. so when i get those 2 subs, that RF amp, and a nice box,.. essentially wut else do i need, also recommend some cd players.. my friend had a sony xplode cd player and it kicked his amp /w kicker subs like crazy.

    those are all pretty much value-brands these days, though high-end alpine are ok.

    Brutus 1500D's were going cheap a while ago.



    Note your pics at the top are for monoblock amps. If you were using a 2-channel amp the ohm load halves again.


    Enclosure type will depend on what type of music you prefer and what you end up with for power output.. and vehicle. A pair of CVR12's in a bandpass box would sound pretty nice, though.
