Hey all...I got my hands on a brand new orion HCCA 12 inch, and i gotta get an amp for it. I dont really know anything about this so i need all the advice i can get - Im thinkin about kicker amps (heard there high quality), or boss(there not as expensive)...and audiobahns look awesome, but im really open to suggestions.

Go with the Kicker if you can get it. Boss sucks. Audiobahn isn't very good either.

JBL and Hifonics also make very good, pretty cheap amps. Look into those.

ok...sounds good, one more question though... Alot of amps say X watts at 4 ohms or X watts at one ohm, I think the hcca is 1200 rms at 2 ohms, how would i get 1200 watts through to it at 2 ohms? or if the amp is rated 1200 watts at 1 ohm, if the subwoofer is 2 ohms does that mean the sub is effectevily giving 600 watts of sound? Like i said, i dont know much.

if an amp states it puts out 1200 watts @ 1ohm,
it most likely puts out around 600 rms at 2 ohms.
