i found out that for christmas, my parents got me 2 12" Rockford Fosgate Punchs and a Rockford Fosgate Amp(it was a package deal at bestbuy.) the only problem is the amp is only about 275 watts. im going to use that little amp for my 6x9's i have on the rear deck, but what size amp should i get for the 12's? I dont want anything to big/expensive, but i want to use the subs to their potential.

p.s. ill post pics of my car soon!

yah if they are punch Z you should use that amp they bought, becasue they dont take a lot of power.
And also note that fosgate amps are UNderrated. Which means they put out more power than they say.
I used to have a Punch500a2, it said 500watts, but it was actually 640 when I bridged it
