Subs and Amp Question?
Hi
I am looking into buying 2 Sub woofers from Boston Acoustics.
here are the specs:
Boston Acoustics G510-44 DVC
10" sub woofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils
# power range: 100-450 watts RMS (225 per voice coil)
# frequency response: 24-350 Hz
# sensitivity: 92 dB
Basically I'm blowin my wad on the subs, but I dont want to spend a fortune on the AMP. Is there an amp out there that will handle both speakers, is off decent quality and for under $200 (+/- 50$)?
I'm installing these into my 07 Hyundai Tiburon Hatchback. Along with a purchase of a Alpine IDA-X001 head unit.
Any Suggestions/Feedback for this endeavor?

The Boston G5's are a decent choice. They offer pretty respectable sound quality. I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but they are also on Crutchfield for $399 - buy one, get one free.. free shipping and warranty.
Here is an option to consider. Buy the buy 1, get 1 free for 399 and sell one of them. Then buy a GTR w/ it at some point. The GTR's are fairly impressive and add to your system w/o having 2 subs, and while still remaining w/ the same small 1 cubic foot sealed enclosure that the G5 utilizes. You can get one for less than 100 at a few online stores, and Crutchfield carried them for 129.
This would help for a few reasons. Little space to be occupied for a big bang, and you would only need the 450 watts for the 1 G5 (GTR doesn't take power, it's a radiator). Therefore, you could find an amp in your price range and do the sub Complete justice!
I'd say if you decide to stick w/ 2 G5's, here are a cpl amps to consider closest to your price range..
US Amps XT4000D ( wired to 1 ohm, but easy on gain)
MB Quart RAA1000
MTX TA7801
Hifonics BXI1208D ( I can't see putting Hifonics on BA, defeats the purpose! )
Elemental Designs NINe.1 ( Been hearing about these and watching them on ROE and Youtube )
If you only used 1 G5 w/ the GTR, I'd say JL 500/1. Very solid! Also, the US Amps XT4000D. It puts out 1500 @ 1 ohm, but puts 450 @ 2 ohm. Running at 2 ohms keeps it cool, while still having the power for 2 subs at 1 ohm if needed. Shop around for only using one G5, because you can find many nice amps in your price range.
All prices considered on Ebay.
Here's one w/ a little Sony pushing a 15" MTX 9500 w/ the GTR...
