Whats a good amp to run two GCON-12 SSA 12" GCON Series Subwoofer

Link to the sub. http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com...subwoofer.html

My budget is 200-250, any recommendations?

Also my friend has this amp he will sell me brand new for 150 i know its not the power they would need but would it still make them sound good? thought opinions thanks in advance.

Hifonics amps are pure garbage. you probably won't find a new amp worthy of those subs for the price range. check ebay or craigslist

You're budget is way too low or you'll need to accept under powering the subs. These amps are about as close as you'll get and still have decent quality. ~1500wrms is generally going to put you in the ~$4-500 range for decent equipment.

I would definately avoid Hifonics.

The cadence would be perfect if he bought D4 subs. The GCON doesn't need the full 750 to sound good.

Agreed on the NAK amp, high quality and very reasonably priced.

Cannot really go wrong with the Cadence, Rubicon or Nak amp. Of the 3 I would take the Nak amp for the $250.
