look into Rockford Fosgate. Ive been with them for about 5 years now. There amps are great and throw out alot alot of power. Id look into a 500.2 or even a 600.2 for those subs.

whats the rms of the speakers and i could tell u exactly what size amp to get

(little known is that an amp is in rated at peak power and speakers are usually rated at rms which is what they actually put out, so u need to match amps and speakers acordingly)

I'm stuck on Phoniex Gold amps. Their titanium series rocks.

Phoenix Gold amps are nice, but I haven't heard anything good about them recently. RF used to be really good and aren't as good now, but they still will make your subs pound. Kicker is good, not the best in quality but they put out some serious power. It really depends on what you're wanting to spend. Just stay away from Legacy, Pyle, Pyramid, and anything sold at Walmart.

A good little equation.. if that's what you'd call it is.. per 1 watt of RMS power, expect to pay $1.

I have 2 PG titanium 475s. They are 01 models. I haven't checked their new amps. They probably went down in quality like so many brands do. It seems like many auto stereo brands build a name & start cutting quality & flood the market. PG was one of the pioneering companys in car audio.

I think they went down in quality, like Kicker is about to do. It seems they're getting to the point where they want to build cheaper amps and lower the price that way they can sell more. Kinda ruins their name. Their old stuff is good, not old old but a few years.. built strong with good components.
