well...infinity makes a couple amps that will run those...the 611A and 1211A mono amps. they should do the trick and even better if you want to stay all infinity..either that or look at JBL's gto601.1 (this amp should be all you need) but if you'd like a little more JBLs gto 1201.1 mono amp will be over kill

If money isn't a problem, then why are you using Reference subwoofers? Just a question. You should look into a better woofer IMO. It seems like you want SPL so why don't you look into Kicker? But from what i hear those Infinitys are good for the price.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Tanks for the post.

Pretty much any reputable company that makes an amp that produces the power needed. Are those subs SVC or DVC? If DVC, then what is the coil impedance? ------------- That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

dvc its a 300 watt rms with 93db 24hz-400hz yea well i know it has to be a good name brand amp but do you have a specific model that you know would power this subs very well? with the rms wattage?

JBL amps are great. People seem to really like JL Audio amps as well, but I currently run JBL. -------------

You can use any good quality amp you want to up to the total RMS value of the subs (600 watts) into the total impedence load you have them wired. ------------- Support the12volt.com

yea well i was thinking about a mono 1800 or 1600 watt phoenixs gold amp any one have a different opinion? or wich one would be the better choice if the phoenixs gold is a good choice?

What load are you going to give the amp? I am looking into getting a Phoenix Gold amp too. I'd recommend them. Why do you need that much power into 2 300 watt subs? Is that the max or RMS? You could get away with a lot less RMS.
