Default Amp suggestions?

I plan on getting two of these subs (12"), and was wondering which amp would give them the power they need for full potential? Also, are the subs I have picked out better than these?

good choice on either subs. i used wmd parts to build up a 15" tc 3000 neo and it worked very well. its a good choice either way.
i personally would get the audioque since i loved my hd315. ive heard good things about those particular models though.

what is your budget on the amp? that would be a start. also is this going to be in a trunk car or suv style?

i think if you are going to drop $300 into subs i would just step my game up and get a single hdc312 and do a single sub setup. or a wmd2 12" either or.

One of those subs is better than 2 of the other ones? I'm looking to spend $2-300 on an amp. Less if $2-300 is overkill.

well you can get the single louder. there is alot more to it. the 2 12s have more cone area and motor force. i would go with a single hdc15. should easily get louder.

Ok, so I think I'll get the single 15. Where should I go for a box? I don't really want to make my own.

it will be loud as *****. as for being a sq driver it is not. with a fs of 40+hz i dont think its what you are looing for.

are you looking to get loud or sound nice? do you want your sub to blend in with your music or to over power it? everyone says they want it to blend but most want to be just loud

Is there a best of both worlds? When I listen to rock I want it to blend in, but when I listen to rap I want it to bump hard.
