I think they are 1000 watts rms?
I don't know an amp that big that is good!
But a 1500 watt amp should fine!
If you want to stick with Rockford get the t1501
If that is to much money... try
Mtx 1501D
Hifonics 1500

for get about the 1500!
Hifonics makes a 1800D that would be perfect for your sub's.
Be for I go raddling off, what ohms are they?

If you're looking for high power amps, try US Amp, Zapco. They make 1000W + rms amps.
Stay away from cheap amps. They lie about their numbers and sound like "s.h.i.t".

That's not a bad amp. However, since it's over $1000, I'd look at Zapco/US Amps/Orion/PPI also.

you could just get to rockford tbd1000 or what ever they are called. you could run 1 to each sub. i think that would be the ideal R.F. setup.

I said an 1800 watt amp, so each sub would get 900 watt's. Perfect for the hx2's! I think 500 watt's would be underpowering them just a little, just my appinion, think you would be happyer with more power!
I have the punch Hx2's, got mine befor the power's came out. Wish I would of wated:-)

Do you have any idea how much power 500W rms is? A perfectly tuned sub with 200W rms is enough to be hard a block away. I don't know how you guys can stand 1000W rms. You either have a poor box/sub or a very tightly sealed trunk.

I am back to starting over because someone liked my power stage 2 sub 12 inch and the RF T10001b more than I did and helped themselves to it. Don�t that bring a tear to your eye, I know it did mine. But anyway now I have 2 MTX RT-10�s in a box I made and tuned to 36hz and just 100 watts you can hear me a good 800 yards.

First of all, you need a great sub, then a perfect box for it. Now you need a high quality amp that puts out pure 200W rms. You can discard most of the cheap amps. You'd be suprised how much difference a great amp makes compared to a normal/cheap ones. Logic says bass is bass, but not quite. A real amp will produce a FULL bass note without tailing/fading out. Same thing applies for the highs.
Try listening to a high quality amp. You won't go back.

As for Donald, I feel for you. I hate thieves. They should all be shot. You may not believe it, but every dog has it's day.

As far as a good amp, I am using the Rockford p8002. My sub's aren't the gratest, and I am looking to upgrade as I type lol
My subs are the punch hx2's, and the boxes wher built at a shop, so I hope they are built right!

RF P8002 is not a bad amp. That amp at FutureShop/Best Buy is $899. The biggest rip off ever. I've seen a demo of it, not bad for getting "soft" bass.
RF's better amps are the "T" series. They cost a bit more but if you like their brand, try that.
Orion HCCA is one master piece. I received mine yesterday and boy it is everything as advertised.
It is too bad that they stopped making amps that great.
