looking for a good amp recommendation

i have two 15" titanium eclipse subs that are DVC and i am going to be getting a new amp and was wondering if any of you had any suggestions. i am looking for a mono amp under 1g that will dish out a lot of power. was thinking of going with memphis audio.

Ok, just wire them all in parallel and you will get a 1 ohm load. You will need a 1 ohm stable amp.

Whoever tried to sell you on the concept amp seems like he's just trying to make some money.

arc amps are a bit under rated as well. i think those eclipses will like seeing the power the arc will provide.

what exactly is wrong with concept audio. seems like a really good amp. maybe not as good as arc but a 1000 dollar amp for 750 sounds like a good deal to me. i did a little research and seems like a good amp.
