    the hifonics bx1205d comes to mind, but it really depends upon your budget, and whether you have the SVC or DVC models.

    um... in addition to offering a reasonable suggestion, that's about as clear as can be.

    Speaker has 2 connections, one + and one - then it = Single Voice Coil (SVC)

    Speaker has 4 connections, two +'s and two -'s it = Dual Voice Coils (DVC)

    If you have SVC's then you can wire them up as a 2ohm load.

    I would recommend a Kicker KX600.1. I had one and it put out 740 watts RMS. This would be a nice match for your subs.

    If you have DVC's this MB Quart looks like a great deal. You can wire the amp for a 2ohm stereo load. You will get over 800 watts RMS (400 X 2), but you can play with the gains a little to get a little less.
