I have two 12 inch Eclipse subs at 450 watts rms each. I have been considering the 1200.1 amp for my subs. Is there a nice amp at a cheap price that will give me 900 rms. I don't want to have to be concerned about damaging my speakers.

No prob, just trying to help you make the best decision so you will be happy in the end. I have made all the mistakes myself, and learned from them the expensive way. Doing it right the first time, saves money in the end if an upgrade were to come along.

I wouldn't worry about missing 900 by 100 or so one way or the other. It will make little to no difference in your volume or sound quality. If you need to buy an 600-800 watt quality (more expensive amplifier) amp instead of a cheap 900 watt amplifier, do it. You want something that will last and has low noise / distortion levels.

What ohms are the subs? That will help us to give you an idea for a good amp to match them.
