im going to run 2 rockford fosgate p3s they are rated 1000 max and 500rms each...im sure many of you guys are familiar with this sub and its capabilities...i been searching around to find a perfect amp to match these sub within a budget... i still can't make up my mind...what is a good amp to power theses two subs? i looked into some amp like

Lanzar
Visonik
RCA Mobile RC1000
Diesel Audio NSH-2.1000
Rockford Fosgate P650

i know that rockford fosgate rate their amp differently... im looking at the p650.2 amplifier from them and its rated at 325 x 2 rms 2 ohms..is that what the standard rating is or what rockford rates them at??

also im very interested in the diesel audio NSH-2.1100 which are rated at 1100 rms x 2 2ohms so 22000 watt total..but im afraid that might be too much or overkill for the sub or would it be alright??? they are the only one i seem with 0-180° Phase Switch Control because i might be mounting my subs inverted to show off those sexy magnets...lol

i never knew RCA makes mobile amplifier...are they any good? i found one that matches perfectly with the setup im running at a really good price....but im afraid it might not be as good as quality and might not be able to handle 1000 rms like it advertises...

the 2 rockford p3s combine produce 1000 rms at 2ohms so i need to find something that matches perfectly with that and within a BUDGET...thanks

im also wondering how does the P3s compare to the Alpine type-r??? which one weight less???

if you gonna do subs then dont worry about weight, seriously, idk about the p3 12 but i have p1 10s and a 1500 watt peak amp going to them and they dont blow so get a good amp, oh and mine sound alright too. not loud enough to need an amp for speakers but alright. if there 500 rms then get like a pdx-1.1000 or another 1000 watts rms amp. same with the type Rs, im going with 2 kicker cvx12s and a kicker ZX1500.1 amp to push them with a new battery, alternator and maybe a cap. just to have the power, im not gonna go bump everywhere bnut if i want it, i have it there at anytime, its not a oh **** i wish i bought the good stuff situation you no. good luck and check out these boxes, pretty pricey but it looks very good.im getting two. lol, one for each side

EDIT: my p1s were in my single cab ford ranger

also why im thinking about it, the type Rs are acually 600 watts rms, they rate them lower that they really are. i had someone test some that my friend had and they were around 600 rms, acually one was 612 and idk what the other was

i heard some pretty stuff about diesel audio ...i think they are somewhat high end amp...i was able to find diesel audio 1400 rms amp at a decent price...i do go that route... i know that rockford rate their amp lower but not sure about subs... i got a bassworx box and it fits perfectly and pretty decent looking...i matched the carpet lining in the trunk to make the sub box carpet..im going to take pictures later...

k cool, if your going with a 1400 watt rms amp then get better subs, like kicker cvx12s or rockford power series stage 2 or something. i was told the the 1000 watt rms alpine amp runs about 1200 rms, and the type Rs are around 600 like i said and that amp will beat the hell out of those subs. and if your going with 1400 rms get subs a little better then your amp. cause then your amp is really pushing and your subs are getting alot of power but if your amp is over powering them then they distort easy, like my p1s, but it was a single cab, if i went with type Ss in my truck(more wattage sub) then i would have to turn my amp down cause of how hard it would hit. just my o2. check into that stuff though
