What Amp should I use?

What size amp should I use?

• I'm going to be buying 2 12" Infinity Reference 1252w subs from Crutchfield soon, and each one is rated at 300W RMS, and 1200W peak, and they both have Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils, so I'm looking at 600W RMS, and 2400W peak power total, and I'm wondering what size amp to use to properly power them without blowing anything. also at this power output, should I incorporate a capacitor too? My other question is since these are dual 4ohm voice coils, should I bridge both subs, and then bridge the two subs together into the amp (using only 1 channel ultimately)? My friend has two Kicker CVRs, and used the same technique, they has dual voice coils (so two sets of pos/neg terminals on each sub) and he bridged those together into one for each sub, then he took the leads from the two subs, and bridged those together, making one negative and one positive total going into his kicker amp, and we put them into my grand cherokee, and the power was mind blowing. In his civic's trunk, theyre not as impressive. But for my own setup, i have always liked the Infinity subs, and after help deciding what SIZE amp I need, I'll have to choose a brand as well. What are some recommendations for a good brand of amp too? Thanks

• Answer:

  mtx is the best amps in my opinion.. i have a 900 watt one and it powers better than any of the others ive tried. of course mines a few years old now and im not sure about the new gen versions mtx has out. but you dont wanna have an amp that has an rms that is greater than the rms of your subs or itll sound like your overdriving them and sound terrible. also you seem to know about the whole set up enough to figure out what would be best lol
