Any suggestions on which amp and subs to run? Nothing over the top just something that sounds clean all around. Preferably some dual 10” subs as that’s the size of the box I got. Any nice mono amps out there? Thanks in advance.

There are literally hundreds of options ranging from cheap crap to audiophile level. What box do you have (mounting depth, volume, etc.)? What type of music do you like? How loud do you like your bass?

I have the MTX-DRQC20C-TN. Don’t care about the price. Mostly rap and the bass would prefer something in the middle that doesn’t overpower the speakers.

Good info. Is the rest of your stereo stock?

Ok, that box is 1.5 cuft sealed. I can’t find a mounting depth measurement anywhere.

I’m a big fan of JL Audio. You could go with two 10W3V3s in that box (assuming the mounting depth is good) and it would kick ass.

With two of those you would wind up with a final load of 2 ohms. Personally I would probably look at a Zapco amp or maybe a JL. Something that does 800-1000w at 2 ohms would be about right.

This one looks nice.

I use a Z-1KD which is a bit lower powered but a solid amp. With your two subs the Z-2KD might be a better option but it’s a lot more money.

Wow that's a nice price for that Zapco! I was going to suggest the ARC KS1200.1 that I run but that Z might be a better option. My ARC's have served me well for many years.
The JL subs suggested are a great choice. I also love the sound of Image Dynamics IDQ series...a pair of their 10's would be a decent choice as well.

Sundown Audio SD-3 would work nicely in there. As a budget option that have you checked out the MTX 5510-22. A 750-1000 if you turn it down a bit rms amp @ 2ohm would power either set nicely zapco makes good amps. One of the members loves his hifonics amp and they're reasonably priced. I'm running JL XD series and they do put out great power and stay cool, but they are pretty pricey and not sure you couldn't get more for less.
