What amp should I power 2 Infinity Kappa Perfects?

I just picked up a 2002 maxima to replace my '99 and I'm going to do an entirely new sound system setup. I'm on the verge of buying two 12inch Infinity Kappa Perfects and use a sealed enclosure.

The problem is that I don't know much about amps and I don't want to go out and spend tons of money on something that will underpower or overpower my 2 subs. I also want something good quality but at a reasonable price. I was looking into Rockford Fosgate amps because I already have previous experience with them. Can you guys help me out by suggesting some amps I should look into and the model numbers for them?

I would greatly appreciate it.

I have a single JL 250/1 pushing my 10" perfect. It sounds awesome.

Nathan, IF you are looking for a good deal on Perfect's check out Sounddomain.com. They offer a pricematch. I picked mine up for $155.

One that comes to mind is the JBL BP1200.1. . . . 1200 watts at two ohms. The Kappa perfects are rated at 1400 Peak each . . . . just throwing stuff out there. Could even go with the JBL 600.1. In any case both are very reliable affordable amps . . . PM me to let me know which one you choose I should be able to get a good deal on them

Thanks guys for the advice, I'll get back to you guys thos weekend when I decide exactly what I want to get. Right now I'm considering getting 1 12" Infinity Kappa instead of 2 to save my trunk space.

You really think so? I was thinking that I probably wouldn't even turn up the bass that much when I'm driving and 2 subs will obviously cost more money not to mention the amp I would have to get. Right now I'm trying to find a good price on 1 12" Infinity Kappa Perfect and I'll worry about getting an amp later on. If anyone has some other idea please let me know.

May I ask how much you paid for that one 12" Infinity Kappa sub? How about the amp? I greatly appreciate it.
