@t3n912 You will need a 0 Gauge amp kit for this amplifier. Here is a link for an amp kit with everything included:

As far as an amplifier, we would recommend the Hifonics Brutus brz1700.1.

what would be a good amp to use with Dual Alpine Type R 12 inch subs??

[SonicElectronixTV]

@Lionel2572 If you have two Dual 4 ohm subs go with the Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D, wiring the subs to a final impedance of 1 ohm. If you have two Dual 2 ohm subs go with the Hifonics BRZ1700.1D, wiring the subs to a final impedance of 2 ohms. These amps are affordable and reliable.

Polk makes a 5ch amp that f-ing sweet. Not everyone has room for multiple amps.

many of the kicker amps come with controls there.

What Amp should I use for a 12" JL Audio W3V2, Duel 2ohm coils? Thanks

[TechPremiere]

I want to put two speakers onto my fourwheeler so i can listen as i ride.

I am thinking about two 4inch speakers and a 200 watt amp. I looked around and was curious if a 12v battery could handle this? i want it loud enough for me and people around me to hear but not cost alot. i also want a mp3 hook up thanks

@cowmilkify If your speakers are low enough on RMS (less than 40W) and your headunit has the outputs you can run 4 of them off the head unit and get a 5-channel amp for the other four speakers and two subs. Its kind of hard to suggest anything without really knowing what you have but that is a basic set up that would work just fine.
