Some help picking an amp

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on what amp to go with, the (2) subs that I Want to use are Kicker CVRI don't know a very much about car audio and I just wanted to know what would be the best amp to suit these subs, I'm not trying to win any sound competitions, just want to sound good, maybe piss off a neighbor or two?

Get Dual 2 ohm subs that way u can wire it down to a 2 ohm load and get a Kicker ZX.750.1, they are perfect for those subs.

Greenwood speakes the truth its rated 750RMS@ 2ohm, 375 @ 4ohm, out of curiosity the ohms is only related to wiring options in the box? or did I misunderstand their optional purpose?

Its related to how u wire up the voice coils and the impedence of the coils. Parallel Wiring; Dual 2 ohm coils=1 ohm load, Dual 4 ohm coils=2 ohm load/Series Wiring;Dual 2 ohm coils=4 ohm load, Dual 4 ohm coils=8 ohm load.
