Can someone please suggest a good amplifier to run 2 12" Soundstream Tarantula subs. The subs are 900wrms each. I need an amp to power them and can't seem to find a good one. Please list any amps you know of that would power these subs. I need suggestions!!
Thanks

since you appear to be on a budget jusdging by other threads, I'd suggest you look at the JBL 1201.1
It's a great amp, and one of the cheaper ones worth buying for a decent system.
Cadence may have an amp to fit your needs as well, or Avionixx.

My budgets about $400. Is the JBL still the best amp i could find in that range?

I found that JBL amp you told me about. It only goes down to 2 ohms and the subs im getting are 1 ohm. Will this still work out and if so how?

yes
two one-ohm subs in series is a 2 ohm load on a mono amp.
you'll get ~600wRMS for each sub.
the JBL is a great amp and a solid bet for those subs in your price range.
Avionixx, MTX, Kicker, and Cadence are other options to explore if ya want a different choice.
