Need help on finding an amp

Alright, currently I am in the process of ordering two Rockford Fosgate Punch 12" 1000 Watt Dual 2 Ohm Subwoofers. They have 500 RMS and im not quite sure what amp to get. I know im going to need an amp that pumps out atleast 1100 watts but Im not sure which to get. Please give all suggestions on the matter.

Depends on your price range. The brutus is a nice powerful amp for a good price. The Soundstream line are awesome amps but are very pricey. (just like phoenix gold)

Phoenix Gold also offers the Octane-R line, from which you could choose the 8.0:1 (800 watts rms @ 2 ohms) or the 15.0:1 (1500 watts rms @ 2 ohms). They are both very nice amps as well...

From experience, we just melted a Fosgate T1 12 inch woofer with 1000 true RMS Watts. So the Punch series is only going to handle 500 RMS and that is it. Running more will only damage the woofer.

Any good amplifier meant for bass with 500 true RMS will do fine. Just make sure it is rated with the CEA 2006 Amplifier Power Standard, which is the true agreed, actual, no bs rating.
