so a 4000 ohm load? Might want to consider four seperate 1000w amps, would be much more money efficient... or even a pair of 2000 watt ones... but what exactly ar eyou looking for? Just one amp? What's your final ohm load etc? |

Like Ty said, we need to know the VC and the name of the subs. If they are top names, than you need big amps, but if they are only lanzars or something, than you don't need nearly the same size amps. Need more info! |

Alphasonik falls into the same ctagory like audiobahn so i wouldn't pick that .
the cheapest amp anybody should buy on a really tight budget is Hifonics . |

2 Orion 2500d or Kicker KX2500.1 would probably be the cheapest and dependable choices |

ok those amps are around $400-500 which isn't bad but for 2 it would be 5000rms isn't it too much the subs rms are only 4000rms. |

u hardly see any 2000wrms amps so thats prolly why he said that & maybe cause ebay has it reasonable .
Crossfire , Rockford & MMats make 2000wrms amps |

Have you taken into consideration that to power all four of those subs with 4000rms you will need around 400 amps current draw coming from your alternator and extra batterys ..... but on another note i would say that with four 4ohm DVC subs you should get two amps that are atleast 2000 rms an to cut down on the current draw needed i would go with Class D mono amps that are 1 ohm stable an atleast put out 2000 rms at 1 ohm mono then wire two subs together in 1 ohm mono an present a set to each amp |

Or atleast thats what i would do ..but i would probably just go with two of those subs ( which is more then enough ) an then use the money from sellin the other subs to go towards my amps an then get 2 Class D amps that put out 1000rms at 2 ohms an then wire each subs for 2 ohms an present 1 to each amp by doing this you would get great SPL an also have nice SQ as well |

yeah I know i'm gonna need a big alternator but I still want to keep all 4 just want to see what it can do(probably make me def)what brand amps though I looked at the ones you've suggested so far but really haven't found a crossfire or mmats and the rockfords I found are refurbed so that means they already broke and don't want something that is gonna give out. Thanks for the suggestions |

Get two Soundstream PCA2000Ds. Those will slam those subs like no tomarrow. 4000w RMS; you would be pushing them perfect. Make sure you get some really-fat power cable like definitely a 0 gauge and a huge alternator and power capacitor... You are most likely going to need like 2 or 3 extra batteries. Lol. It will sound insane though. lol I love it.. |

oh and it does put out 2000w rms..soundstreams amps i believe are the the only decently priced amps on the market. 2000w rms for only $500 and sometimes less...thats a bargain.. |
