I am helping a friend with an install. He has (4)15 inch Crysta; CSe15.8 subs. They are 8ohms 350W RMS and 700 peak a piece. We was needing some advice for an amp for these.

jbl 1200.1 although you could go with a 1400 watt amp, the jbl would be a very good inexpensive match, it is one ohm stable which is what you would need for those 8 ohm subs

thats my input at least

You said those subs are 8 ohms each which means it will run into 2 ohms not one. I would suggest looking at orion. They make an amp in the xtreme line that runs about 1400 wrms. That would be a better match than the JBL
