You need to run at least 500 watts from a real amp to push the speakers to potential without overheating. I am running a 1x1000watt monoblock kicker amp at both of them and it is all I ever wanted and it will handicap anybody within 100ft of the car.

the best combo for subs and amps would have to be P.G. amps and jl audio subs Flipy Floppy
I have a set of 12 pr series subs. They sound great and in a small seaed box. I tried a set of jl w0 which were comparable. The jl audio subs literally fell apart.
old audiobahn stuff is the best but now jl audio stuff is the best on the market
