Question Need a good amp

I have an old Punch 60 amp on two P1 Crossfire DVC speakers. They are 2/8 ohm speakers. The amp keeps clipping off at medium to high volume. I just don't think the amp is stable at whatever ohm it is trying to power.. What is a good amp that can handle the two speakers? I am not trying to wake the neighborhood. I’m just looking for something that can handle the power.

JL Audio. They make some nice amps. Check out the "slash" series. Stable down to 1 Ohm.

Are they 4ohm DVC subs? Is that a 2 channel or mono block amp? Whats the RMS of the subs?
How do you currently have the subs wire up to your amp?

The subs say 2/8 ohm on the back of them. It is one of the old black Punch amps that had the card you could flip around. It is running in mono now. Not sure the RMS. It is wired in series.
