Each of your subs is 250 watts each, so you need at least a 500 watt amp. Unless you were to buy 2 of the amps above (1 for each sub) I would suggest that you go with the JBL 600.1 https://www.purecaraudio.com/product.asp?0=200&1=352&3=323

Watch IkeSound's warranty policy. They may offer a better price, but their warranty sucks! Mainly due to the fact they if "their" experts feel the damage was intential or something other than an act of god, you will not get a replacement or refund. I've never dealt with IkeSound solely because of their warranty policy.

squirrel, what online stores/ebay maybe, have you dealt with? if any, or would you completely suggest buying from local dealers?

I'm one of the cautious ones who pays more than they have to by sticking to authorized retailers. I'm not saying that the others will not live up to their word, but I'd rather pay more and know that I'll get it back in the future is something happens, rather than pay less now, then again later to replace it, then again and again when the warranty doesn't come through or you get slammed with shipping costs, restock fees, etc...

Crutchfield is a company of their word, but can be just as expensive as your local shop. I haven't heard anyone specifically complain about IkeSound's service, but it's still all about that warranty. I just can't get it out of my head that it's like comparing a Rolex and a RoleX. You may be getting the real thing, but you may not either....

Not to mention using the online stores takes money away from the dedicated hard working professionals who not only enjoy selling the equipment, but who love getting hands-on and creating the ultimate sound system! Many of whom you'll meet on this site
