You have two of them? Then you will probably get best performance wiring them for 2-ohms each (voice coils in parallel) and putting the two woofers in series for a net 4-ohm load, and then purchasing a mono subwoofer amplifier for them. But the real next question is what sort of enclosure are you planning?

Ummm... Audiobahn? The BEST amp for them is the wall socket. (In Great Britain, you oughta be able to make some AWESOME sparks, with 240 volts!) Blow those things up, take 'em back to the store where you bought 'em, get a store credit, and buy a real woofer... (yes, I said a woofer, any decent SINGLE woofer will far outperform those boat anchors!) Something with a few less flames, and a whole LOT less chrome...

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful, was it? what amp for these subs? -- posted image.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

If you want a budget amp.

If you want a good amp that will stroke those really quick

I only suggest the ED amp because I have one and it is a beast. Some people on here may say ED sucks...well that was a few years ago and they had some problems. Now everything is good and very good quality. 5 year warranty also. And they pay for shipping whatever broke back to them for them to fix or replace.
