If those are dvc 2 ohm subs you can hook it up and show the amp a 2 ohm load.
Here are some amps.
Kicker 600.1
Xtant A6001T
Either one of those amps would work. They are pretty much same quality. The ony thing is with the kicker you will proably get a remote bass control knob included with the amplifier. This will allow you to control the bass from the front seat. So whichever you can get cheaper I would get. You can buy the remote thing for the xtant amp also its just not included with the amp. Check on ebay for both amps. |

anonymous,
If they are the svc 4 ohm take a look at the jbl as you mentioned, xtant A6001T, kicker 600.1. Those will all give you 300 rms per sub at 2 ohms. If those are dvc subs then the jbl is your best bet. |

if ur looking for class d amps, i would recomend harrison labs. they are really cheap. dollar cost per watt is astounding. 800 whats at 4 ohms for 300 bucks. a lot of top end car audio manufacturers buy parts from them. these guys brought out the first class d amp into the market. as well as the first passive xover and also the first car eq. now get this. they built the first amp for cars ever. this is an electrical engineering company more than anything. they sell all sorts of electronic gear, but u still have to check out their audio products. their site is hlabs.com |
