Which setup is better?

I have two eclipse 12's.
I can either get two XA1000's or one XA2000. I was wanting to know which setup would get me the most power. Thanks

I would think that each subwoofer having its own amp powering it would produce better results. At least that's my theory

well my subs can handle up to 600 watts, so you think the one amp on each sub will be ok?

wicivic is an unknown quantity at this point
eclipse amps suck now... that used to be the only system i ran but since they went mass produce.... bleh but get one amp for each sub.... but i would get 2 of the 1000's because its closer to the rms of your sub.. oh and if you are going with an eclipse headunit get it before 2007 because they are stopping the electronic tracking chips

i actually already have an eclipse head unit and i think i have decided to go with an alpine mrd-m605 instead of the two eclipise 1000's since my eclipse dealer wants 1050 for the amps and to install them and i can get the alpine instaled for 460-500

unless it states refurbished everything is NIB... the refurbished stuff is usually in the clearance section i ordered 2 audiobahn eternals a couple weeks ago and an A180001DT it got here i think last wednesday and everything was perfect.... If i may reccommend some things for you.... unless you want to stay all eclipse, which is understandeable kicker makes an awesome amp, audiobahn is excellent, MA audio is pretty good, and of course fosgate is good

Just make sure if you have two subs with two amps not to have the subs in the same incloser.. even though they are the same amp the watts are not always the same.. if you have them int he same incloser make sure they are seperated with MDF or fiberglass.
