Just bought these subs from somebody on Craigslist.

Well, learned that the RMS is 1150 and these are both 4 ohms. So, I need an amp that will make these bump. I’m kind of on a budget so I’m looking at a good deal.
What amp is good for me? Should I bridge? Mono? Or what?
Thank you for your replies!

Answer #1
Your link is not directing me to the type of speakers you have, but here’s some general knowledge for subwoofers and sub amplifiers.
You need a mono Class D amplifier rated at least 200 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms used with a low-pass filter and crossover.
Most all of the latest amps have a low-pass filter and a selective crossover point built into them. (recommend crossing at 100 Hz)
Ideally, if you can afford it; (tough on a budget) the amp should be rated at least 75% of the speaker’s RMS power handling in watts.
Three ways to connect: You can either use a 2 channel amp for 2 subs; or you can use one amp per sub with the amps in bridge-mode;
or since most mono amps are rated for 2-ohm loads, so you can connect two 4-ohm woofers wired in parallel with amp in bridge-mode.
