exact subs specs? You're gonna have to do more than 100 if you expect them to be any good.

You need to spend more than $100 to get anything that isn't pure shit.

those aren't rated for 1000 watts. not even close. you only need 3-400 hundred to run a pair of those. trust me. and even then, you aren't going to get anything even close to decent for 100 bucks. i'll see what i can dig up for ya.

this is a decent amp. and it's not very expensive. you can probably find it at a local kenwood dealer for a little more money. but, it's worth it not to have to ship it off in case it needs service.


edit: on second thought, this would be better for the application. and it's cheaper.

then, you don't know how to run your subs. you can run 4 subs if you want, on a mono block amplifier, depending on how they are wired.

you WILL NOT screw up your system unless you don't know what you're doing and you end up wiring 2 DVC subs at 1 ohm and run them with a 2-4 ohm stable amp. that's about it. unless you just wire them completely wrong and the amp sees nothing but resistance. trust ME, i speak from professional training and YEARS of experience. i ran a car stereo shop for years. i know what i'm talking about. go with the mono block amp. wire the subs to carry a 2-4 ohm load. easy day.

its called bridging and when wired to the right ohm load a mono amp can sound 10 x's better than a 2 channel

+1 I have a mono block amp right now pushing two 10" Alpines. works just fine, and has been for about 4 years now.
