what amp would you recomend?

So last weekend I bought two 12in Kicker comp subs... What amp would you recomend me to use? I kinda wanted to go with kicker products for all my audio equipment but I'm open to other brands.

A kicker 500.1 would be nice. It all depends on you sub's, if they are single 4 ohm coil's that would be a 2 ohm load..And kicker amp's make most of there power at 2 ohm.

I used to have a set of those, yea they are single 4 ohm voice coil's. They sound good in a sealed box, hit every note good. Even better, get your hands on one of these boxes http://www.crutchfield.com/p_2067DC1...22.html?tp=112.

that looks nice.... my ultimate plan was to get a custom setup kinda like how the pioneer is and have one on each side. Then the amp in the back slightly angled that way I can still use my trunk for loading long things like "huge trophies, dead bodies, and many other delicate items
