Amp help!

I have never been an car audio guy, but i got a pair of subs just because the price was right. I need help choosing the right amp at a decent price. I got 2 Infinity Reference 12" 1242W Subs( 350W RMS, 1200W ) Any advice on which amp is a good deal? I paid 100 for the two subs, which was a great price. Need to go affordable cuz college leaves a pretty big dent in the wallet. Thanks

RE: Amp help!

Since your subs are dual 4 ohms, you will want an amp around 800watts rms at either 4 or 1 ohm. It will be a lot easier to find an amp that will put out that power at 1 ohm. I wouldn't go with anything much higher than 900-1000 watts to the pair.

Hifonics Brutus 600rms @ 1 ohm for $129

Crunch Powerzone 1000rms at 1 ohm for $149

both amps are made by Maxxsonics so i trust them both. those are the two i would suggest. the brutus would be the safe bet but the powerzone should be fine as well.
