    you can look into power acoustik or crunch they can be had for fairly cheap for a 750-1000 watt amp.

    Are they jh55 or jh44?

    If jh55 the rms for 2 subs would be 800W

    If jh44 the rms for 2 subs would be 500W

    1 channel with how many amps? 800? 1000?

    Or as a matter of fact to make it easier so you dont have to explain (sorry) could you just find one that is a good and cheap (probably $100-$170) for me and then give me the link? I would really appreciate it.

    I only suggested different subwoofers because MTX is trying too hard.

    But can you build your own enclosure??

    looks like your subs are SVC 4ohm subs rated at 250watts RMS each so 500 watts RMS for the pair. Since your subs are SVC 4ohm. you'll want to find an amp that will put out 500 watts RMS at 2ohms.

    i'd go withthe crunch amp. that way you have upgrade options in the future for more power if you want.

    Subwoofers are only as good as the enclosure they are in.

    Just know that if you buy prefab it is a shot in the dark.

    I would never buy the enclosures from MTX. They are prefab...too small. Tuning is unknown. They don't sound all that great. I've heard their "loaded enclosures". Nothing impressive IMO.
