Amp Needed ?
Alright, I recieved my Infinity 12'' 1250w Subs. They are both SVC, and I have them in a sealed box, both wired to there own Posts. Seeing as they are 4ohm subs, I will be needed a 2 channel, 4 ohm amp correct ?

There are many highly efficent class D amps that will handle the 2 ohms of your 2 subs in parallel. That would be the best approach. There are also some very good 2 channel amps that put out 300watts RMS or so that your sub can handle. Be carefull when bridging a 2 chanel amp for use with 2 ohms. Most cannot handle it.
And whatever you do, do not put the subs in series, because then you will have to suffer the wrath of Haunz, and not even I will be able to save you since he has 15x more posts than I do! :-)

I have an amp on each sub because i like my subs in stereo. You could do it that way, but its not very practical. You'd be better off with a mono amp and wire them in paralell for a 2 ohm load. I looked up the 1250w and its rated 300 wrms. so 2 of them would take a 2 ohm amp @ 600 wrms. Look up pioneer GM-D510M.
Or, if you like a little more punch, but you'd have to be carefull try the premiere PRS-D3000SPL 1000 wrms.
Thats only a couple suggestions. Make isn't near as important as real specifications. Make sure you look at CEA specs.

i would look at monoblock amps

Is it time for the "subs in stereo" thread again?????

The short answer is NO. You cannot bridge that amp into 2 ohms.
The long answer is; you could run 1 sub off each channel, but you'd get very little power. You could buy 2 of those amps, and bridge them, one to each sub. But, you'd be better off with a real amp. Don't buy noname generic amps. There's a guy at our local flea market sells that sh-t.
What you want is pioneer, alpine, kenwood, rockford, mtx, etc.
And don't get me started on the subs in stereo bit....
