i need amp help

i have no idea what any of this audio lingo means, but thats okay, i have all you experts, im looking at putting two 12" subs in my blazer

i was thinking these ones because i can get two for $110

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...oductDetail.do

questions
1: do i even want two tweleves, not two tens or one 15 or something
2: if i get those 12's what amp wouldi want, fairly cheap under 300
3:will they sound okay if i put them in the sidepanels in front of the wheel wells, some kind of box design that is connected or blends with the sidepanels
4: will the amp work under the seat or will it get to hot

well yeah

Firstly, You'll have to move your seat forward about 3-4" in order to be able to mount those subs.

Second, the type/size of sub all depends on what you listen to. I'd go with the 2 12's regardless.

Here's an amp: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...il.do#proddesc

Wire down to 2ohm. Also run good fusing and wiring.

Re: i need amp help

I have always been one to have a liking for total system tonality over just BOOM. So I would tend to go for a singe 12 done correctly. This will help you achieve not only great lower frequency response, but also give you the chance to blend into the front stage with ease. I would shy away from Sony products, but thats just me. I would rather spend my money on some non-mainstream equipment as you will get more bang for the buck.

Image Dynamics
Resonant Engineering
Mach Audio
Sound Solutions
Treo
Sundown Audio
etc...

Here is one of my alltime favorites for both sound quality and lower bass reproduction.

Dayton Audio Reference 12
