What amp will power 2 12" subs?

Question

I am going to buy 2 12" subwoofers. They are Infinity's.. there is also an Exile 500 watt mono amp on sale. Will this amp power my 2 subwoofers or do I need to get an amp with a bit more wattage to give me that crisp clear sound?

I am also getting 2 4x6" speakers in the front that will only be powered by my cd deck.

Answer 1

and there is a Low rating on the subs to   of what they need to even start to move      you answered your own question  More power  will give you a better sound,,,,,  

Answer 2

You need more power. Everything is about the RMS. You need to find the rms watts of you're subs, and then find the rms watts of an amp that match's you're subs.

example

2-12"(1200)=2400rms watts

You might want to go with a little smaller amp so you you lower the risk of poppin you're subs, or just keep you're amp turned down just a little so you hit don't protection.

Hope this helps. Here is a link on some good prices.
