Do you have a photo of the back of the actual subs? are they a dual voice coil or a single voice coil?

Look at a 1000w RMS mono bloc amp
wire both subs in paralell (pos to pos, neg to neg)
you will need the amp to be 1OHM stable to support the amount the subs will load it down.
sorry if its confusing

Oh okay, So can a mono run 2 subs? and will it be pumping 500RMS to one sub right? Oh & how about the speakers? I wanna run them off a amp to for full potential power.

a mono amp can run many subs depending on what resistance the subs load it down, hard to explain, but 2 yes, easily.
yes 500w RMS to each sub which is perfect. To amp the speakers, well it is a better option, but bang for buck many dont see the difference. I'd recommend running them with no amp, see how they go. if your not happy with how they perform add the amp, but be prepared to fork out another $500-700 for something decent installed.

What sort of car is it in and how much are you looking to spend?

Okay cheers. I'll prob run a mono block then. & for the speakers how many RMS do I need for the amp? Can't you get like $200 ones that will run the 4 speakers ?

Honda Civic EG Sedan ( Granny car) but yeah good for mates to tag along in a 4 dour! and I'm looking around to spend $1000.

Ahh ok nothing wrong with that, better then carting people around in a 4 door.
yeah mate id ditch the amp speakers idea for now, expensive task.
And wanting big bass im asuming?
the trick with sound quality on a low budget is to get small low powered speakers, so they are going to do the job alot better with the small amount of power offered by the CD player. where are you from and where are you buying the gear from?
