ok i am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff... i just recently bought 2 audiobahn 1206t's and i need a quailty amp that will put a decent amount of power into these subs for around $200. i know these are over rated subs but i know they can still push a good amount of wattage.. so can someone help me find a good amp that will push a good amount of watts into each of my 2 subs for cheap.. thanks

do you care about warranty ? www.ikesound.com has some cheap amps.  i would recommend listening to as many amps as you can ,at local shops before you buy. with one of your CDs .

"quality", "decent" and "power" don't add up to $200.  At least not easily.  Like Blowntweeters said, you'll be looking through the bargain basements or fleabay.  Those are SVC 4 ohm subs, right?  Wired in parallel for 2 ohms, look for a mono amp.  Did you buy these preloaded in a box, or are you building one?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

You bought a bad box, sorry to say.  There won't be any "sounding good" with a bandpass.  But you can make changes.  Look at the sub literature and make sure each one is a single voice coil 4 ohm.  Look at woofer wiring at the left side of this page to find a wiring diagram to make the total load 2 ohms.  After verifying that, look for a mono amp that will output about 600 to 800 watts into 2 ohms.

Trade that bandpass box for a vented box, if you can find one that allows for what you need to do.  Or find someone who can build it for you.  Build the box to 1.75 total interior cubic feet.  Insert a round PVC tube that is 4"  (inside) diameter and 17" long.  Mount the subs into the box and you will end up with a net airspace of approx. 1.38 cu. ft.  Small box, long port, but that is what this particular sub should have.  This will probably give you best sound quality.  Box tuning frequency will be 35 Hz.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

i think those are dvc 4ohms and rated like 1000 watts rms . overrated but still.if your budgets that tight. go with somthing middle  on quality and higher on power.this would fit the bill. http://www.ikesound.com/product_id/3775  but is twice what you want to spend. please give the specs for the subs

Two dual 4's puts you in a tougher spot trying to get an amp at a low price like that.  And what I said about that box.  Use a good solid, braced 3/4" MDF enclosure.
