you are better off saving some money a decent amp kit is prob gonna cost you between 60-100 bucks depending on wattage for the amp. your 120 limit is kinda not gonna work unless you just buy piece by piece.

Those will be fine. Correct me if I am wrong, but the RMS just means the watts that the subs can handle at a constant pace. So the peak wattage is usually quite a bit higher. Just get those and grab an amp that runs at 200 or just under watts....RMS....not peak...and you will be all set.

And then you will blow the subs. You do not want to get an amp that has more power than the subs can handle. If you do that you will blow the sub on your first big bass hit. haha. Make sure to just pick up an amp that will be a good match for the speakers. What is the max output of the subs?

But also you don't want to under power the subs either that can ruin them also
