Ok guy's,

   I know everyone has their own opinions in regards to the best amps on the market but, I would like some opinions from the guy's that have been in the car audio scene for a while. I currently have 2 MTX 8104's and am in need of a decent amp to drive them as they are power hungry and they have a decent amount of space to fill with bass. Anyone?

The Hifonics Brutus BX1000D does 700W rms X 1 @ 2-ohms...Sounds like a pretty good match to me...Each sub will get 350W rms...That's just about what they need.
See it HERE
If u got the dual 4-ohm version of those subs that's cool, u can wire in parallel/parallel and get em down to 1-ohm and that amp will put out 1000W rms, since u say they r power hungry that extra 100W rms per sub won't hurt em, be careful with the gain...But the Brutus amps are good, i have some experience with them, and they put out good clean power and it's nice that they have a subsonic filter (good if ur gonna use a ported box)...Remote bass knob (lame to me, so be careful with it), 1-ohm stability, great price, they look good....etc...there's ur amp.

How about a MTX 8001. Usually tests at around 900 watts rms at 2 ohms.

I was gonna say the 801D but since it's rated at 500w rms @ 2-ohms on 12.5DVC i figured he wouldn't want it...The 8001 is an older model huh? Wonder if u can find those still.

The 8001 is an older model and I am not sure if you can get your hands on it anymore. If I go MTX, I think ot would be a 1501D. Good amp?

Well, the 8104's are rated at 400 watts rms each. So, I do beleive to drive them efficiently I would need an amp the puts out at least 800 watts rms at 12.5volts. Right?

Right, and the 1501D does 1000W rms at that voltage at 2-ohms...and i beilieve 1500W rms peack at 14.4V...So it may be too much...but u say they r power hungry (i've never heard that about the thunder 8000 subs) but if u say so.

I am currently running a 500 watt mono amp to the and the seem like they want more. everyone that I have talked to about these subs tell me to run a minimum of 800 watts to them.
