I got two 15" treo ssi subs. They need 750 rms into 2 ohms. This amp says that it pushes 800 rms into 2 ohms at 14.4v. I would like to know if this amp is gonna be worth them money or not.

go with the 12v rating its more realistic, I doubt your car is operating at 14.4 volts constant. Saying its more like 600x1@2ohm. Are you planning on gettting 2 of these amps? 1 per sub.

yeah i am planning on getting two of them. The subs are only getting 300 rms right now. I wanna get them full power tand then sum. Is there any other amps that would be good and relatively inexpensive?

For what you'll have into 2 amps ($820) there are a ton of options out there. I'll stick with my faithful concept amps check'em out. I am not a big fan of kenwood amps and I think audioblahh are just shiny junk.

I would like to stick with a dual amp setup if possible, and my price range is about $200-$250 per amp.

The kicker KX1200.1's have been going on ebay for very cheap, and alot of shops are closing them out with the new product line.....most of those amps do 1300-1500 at 1 ohm @ >1%THD
