Default Amps for my 2 Subs

I want to put in my car (camaro 1999) a 2 SONY XPLOD XS-L124P5B 12" subwoofers (1300 peak power watt, 380 rms, single 4 ohms.... EACH...) and i already bought the NEW SONY CDX-GT420U Head Unit (has 2 Sets of Preamp Outputs ).

My question is what would be the best CLASS D MONO AMPLIFIER for me ?
Im looking for a amp that can give me a 700-750rms to feed both subwoofers.

Plus i have little bit information about how to hook an amp so u used this site
http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftec...2&woofer_imp=1



what do u ppl think ?



thanks.

Kicker ZX750.1 (rated at 800W+)

I'm using the ZX400.1, rated at 480W, driving a 10" Alpine Type R Sub and I love it.

Yeah, forget Boss. AVOID these brands: Boss, Pyramid, Pyle, Lanzar, Jensen, Legacy/American Legacy, Visonik, Soundstorm (who try to capitalize on SoundSTREAM's name), Sony (for amplifiers... and speakers, but too late on that one), etc. There are many more bad ones but I can't name them all.

Kicker amps are decent mid-range amps. Kenwood and other brands like Hifonics are a little bit lower budget but still recommendable. I think Kicker would probably be a good recommendation for you. And make sure to pay attention to the continuous ("RMS") watts of your subwoofers more than the peak values. You can get an amp rated lower or higher than your subwoofers as long as you set the gains correctly. But a 750W continuous amp. would be about right.

Seriously check out kicker. They make some good stuff. If you can splurge go for Kenwood or polk.

if ur subs take 800rms giving them 900 or 1200 wont really make a difference is more power nice yeah but they are sonys they might last a few weeks at 800rms before u destory them

turn ur gain up all the way if u want it will be real loud when the volume is low then when u turn the volume up u can clip the living piss out of the sonys and blow em up then buy more sonys and do it all over again
