help choosing amp for 8ohm bandpass

I have 2 500watt (300watt rms) 12s in a bandpass box running at 8 ohms so 600watt rms total, ive installed single subs at 4ohms bridged but i dont see any amps that say the power handling at 8ohms, is there anything i need to know, like is 8ohms bad for the amp or will it not sound good?

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-kJjcSy6...20&I=489HA1000
i was checking out this amp because it has a high RMS (480 watts) and it doesnt cost too much but i dont know what to expect from the 8ohm bandpass, the specs say 480 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)

any help would be apreaciated

Re: help choosing amp for 8ohm bandpass

looks like no replies.. the system seems to be working great, im very surprised how well that 250$ system sounds, very powerfull. it may sound nicer in a trunk than my hatch back though. the bandpass i used was the dual XNBP12D and the amp a 1,000watt profile

Re: help choosing amp for 8ohm bandpass

Any amp will run with an 8 ohm load, it just won't make as much power. Low loads are what can be dangerous for amps. Do you have dual 4 ohm subs wired in series? If that's the case, I suggest runnning each one to its own channel on the amp. They will be alot louder.

Re: help choosing amp for 8ohm bandpass

the crutchfield website said nothing about the subs besides the bandpass with them was 600w rms. it says 8ohm but i talked to a tech and he said they had no information on the speakers themselves but he assumes they are 8ohms per speaker and wired to produce 4 or somthing like that, the site says 8ohms but i noticed the the box physically says 4ohms, i

from what i gather they are each offbrand 1000w speakers but that 600w RMS together with a tuned bandpass is nice, you can already feel the seats shaking along with every hair on your head and they are only pushin 480w, I have another 600w (300w rms) amp and was kinda wondering if could use 1 amp for each 8ohm speaker and have a full 300watts to each speaker but i dont think my alternator would last very long.
