Kicker DC10, what amp for these.

i got an awesome deal on the kicker dc10 box and subs. I've been patient and have been looking for some decent subs, again i'm content with the stock speakers and head, i just wanted some thumpin, nothing spectacular, but i didn't want some crap no name brand. Circuit City messed up on my tv and i got a completely new one and i _____ed and _____ed for 40 minutes and they gave me a 100 dollar gift card to ease my "pain and suffereing". But i saw the subs on theyre' website for 160 on sale so i bought them with the gift card and i paid the 60 dollar difference. Now i just need to get an amp to power them. Again, something that'll last, but i don't need some super expensive amp. Now i'm completely retarded when it comes to knowing what to buy, What amp should i get?

2channels are for speakers. A mono amp is designed for subwoofers...

i have only had experience with pioneer and kicker amps. both were good, performed to my expectations. im sure there are people with more experience with multi brands but I guess they dont want to chime in.

just search online, that site I linked is pretty good with prices. if aestetics is important then def look at pictures of the amps.

from my personal experience though, showing off amps isnt necessarily a good idea unless your going for a flashy system. From what you purchased and your description of what you want, your going for more function over form. I myself like this better because it keeps the thieves away.

here's a pic of my old system off the kicker site:

as much as I liked the attention, Im 100% sure thats the reason why my car got broken into. Luckily I was revamping my wiring and it wasnt in the car...
