Default what amp would I need?

I'm putting two kicker C12 12" subs into my car. What size / brand amp would be the best to drive this setup? Also what's the best place to get the amp?

I already have head unit with RCA sub outputs so hookup would be pretty simple.

Educate me.
Thanks.

for best bang for the buck check out rockford or MTX amps.

check out:

www.cbrstereo.com
www.ikesound.com
www.thezeb.com

I've dealt with all of them and their service is great. Don't forget Ebay too, a lot of these stores sell a lot cheaper on ebay too

goodluck

Thanks for the sites. How would I size the right amp for the application? Here are the specs for the speakers:

Model C12
Impedance (OHMS) 4
Maximum Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK) 300
Maximum Amplifier Power (WATTS RMS) 150
Sensitivity (dB 1W/1M) 88.6
Frequency Response (HZ) 27-500
