alpine mrp-m500 one for each amp.

Or get a 1 ohm stable 1000rms amp. Type r's are 500rms most commonly dual 4 ohm. So you'll want a 1000 rms amplifier.

an Alpine pdx 1.600 will hammer that setup. So would an Alpine pdx 1.1000. Because of the way they are designed you should be able to make full output power no matter what the voice coil configuration your subs may have. Awesome deals can be had right now on both of those amps because most places are clearing them out to make way for the new pdx lineup.

You can def put tons of power to those subs and they will hit very hard, but might not do so for as long as youd like. Stick to the manufacturers reccomendations and you'll get lots of bass and have long term reliability that is unbeatable.
