Default Help me find an amp!

Alright guys, here is what I need: an amplifier for my subwoofers.

(Hertz Energy Series 12" 700 Watt Car Subwoofer) I have two of them and I already have the box for them. Here is a site that you can look at for more info if needed.
http://www.abt.com/product/69878/Hertz-ES300.html

I just bought a new stereo head unit single din kenwood KDC 355U it has 3 preouts and everything. I am not a very smart guy when it comes to electronics, but I know I for sure need an amp that will power the subs. I don't have a set price range, just hoping it will be under $350!

One last thing, since my new radio head unit is a single din, is there a custom bezel or installation kit I can get for my 02 firebird?

THanks for any help guys!

I didn't see it listed in the woofer description, but at these single voice coil subs? That's what it appeared as just stating 4ohms. If so, the maximum load you'll be able to put on an amp is 2ohms.

This would work well and it's very simple to install: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIONEER-GM-D9601-CAR-AUDIO-MONO-CLASS-D-AMP-AMPLIFIER-COMPACT-DESIGN-GMD9601-/360905056772?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item54079e2204&vxp=mtr

hifonics has a 1500-2000watt thats one ohm stable for under 350$ either zeus or brutus both are excellent and run pretty cool but are over a foot long and width wise with a 2 inch+ thickness


RE audio is good
Mclaurenis good
incriminator audio is good(expensive)
sound stream is good
sundown is excellent(pricey aswell)


PM me for a few good sites you can goto to see what your looking for and for wiring if you want

I have the Hifonics ZRX1200.1D amp powering my subwoofer. It would probably be more than you'd need. Probably about $130-150 depending on where you get it. Check with Kee Audio, a sponsor on here. He'll get something good for you, at a good price. I agree with all the brands above.
