Consider this a low budget project. The GM-5200T is looking good, since it's around $100 shipped on eBay.
So I should be good to go w/ that, bridged, right?

What's your budget? A good class D mono amp would do the job right. There quite a few to choose from. Kicker, MTX, Alpine, JL Audio are some that fit the bill. Let us know what you decide on.

oman76, you need to look at the content of the discussion a little closer here. Most people automatically default to class D mono amp when they see the word sub. Well, what did we older distinguished kind of dudes use in the days before class d? We used good old 2 channel class AB amps and they worked just fine, as they would in this application. In this appliction the user has two 8 ohm subwoofers, the only recommended wiring solution for him is a parallel circuit that will present a 4 ohm load to the amp. A 2 channel amp for the most part (some exceptions do apply though) will present maximum output at 4 ohm mono, wherea's a class D amp produces maximum output at 2 or 1 ohm. If the user is going to be changing to different subs in a hurry, then yes the class D amp would be a great choice. As he has posted what his exact subs are and what he wants to do, in this case the Pioneer is a great choice.

Go with  the Pioneer, it will do the job just fine for you.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
