Need Some Help Finding A Amp

My freind is about to give to me two 12 inch 600 watt subs. well i know nothing aobut this and i have a alpine CD player with 3 pre amp outputs? so what kind of Amp should i get to send to the 2 subs??? thanks for any help and could you give me a store or website to check out anything you say might be good for the 2 subs. thanks.

what are the subs?

pioneers i think

2,4, or 8 ohm, are they in incloseres if so vented or sealed

4 ohm

I mean which specific subs

I am not sure i think it was these, he just got them but doesn't want them anymore.... so i figured i could just use them just to see how it is and stuff.

i think these might be it

Alright, those subs have a single 4ohm voice coil and can handle 150rms. You have a couple choices for amps
1 - 4ch that puts out 150x2 @ 4ohm when bridged, this amp should do somewhere around 35x4 @ 4ohm
2 - mono amp that does 300x1 @ 2ohm

Either should be pretty easy to find and will work just as well as the other, but the mono amp might be slightly more efficient so it wouldn't drain as much power from your alternator. Personally I would look for a mono amp instead of a 4ch, it should be pretty easy to find. There are so many that I'm not going to bother listing good brands, but you can do some research and post here with some findings, then we can tell you what is good and what is crap.

okay thanks dude, i will look into that.

How about this one

So do i need to get two amps like this, one for each sub? And could you tell me what kinda wires i need for this?

He probably means one amp, it should do the trick..I'd go w/ 8 gauge for safety reasons, but if you like fire hazards you could go 4 gauge.

yea that is pretty good, and no you only need one amp, im sure u can find a lower price, and since you said you know nothing about it, either buy a 8 gauge amp wiring kit and ask your friends to help u when installing, or get it installed pro somewhere

the amp kit usually comes with power wire, speaker cables, rca cable, wire protector, and a fuse, and lots of ring connectors, maybe a few clamps, i think you can get one for like $25-40 at most places

this is from the rockford fosgate website, you'll want to use the first illustration

good luck!
