I have 2 12 inch MTX jackhammer subwoofers with a max of 800 watts RMS or 1600 watts. What amp should you use to power the system and why?

That depends on a few things. Since your question is about power matching(and to help keep it short and sweet) I'll touch on the thing I consider most relevant. "Are you looking to build an S.Q. system, an all-out SPL system?" If you're looking to build a Sound Quality (SQ) system that won't be played at Earth-shaking volumes, then I'd say you could very easily get away with simply matching the RMS power rating of the speakers. (using sealed enclosures and running them in series) If SPL is what you're after, then I'd suggest an amp capable of AT LEAST 50% higher RMS rating than the speakers. (using ported enclosures and running them in parallel)

Do all subwoofers have their own power source?
Most subwoofers have their own power source. There are subwoofers called "passive" woofers that will be powered by your amplifier.

Yes this amplifier works with a variety of subwoofers with various ohm loads. The amplifier will product the same power at 1.5 - 4 ohms making this a great choice for most subwoofers. ?

What kind of amp do you need if you have 2 12 inch subwoofers that have an rms rating of 250 watts each?
To power your speakers, and to ensure that your amp has enough power to power your subwoofers, you would need at least an amp of 750 watts true power.
Will 300 watt kicker amp push two tens?
It depends on the specific power-handling capabilities of the subwoofers and their impedance. If the subwoofers have a total power handling capacity that is lower than 300 watts and the amplifier can provide enough power at the required impedance, then it should be able to adequately power the two tens. However, if the subwoofers have a higher power handling capacity or the amplifier cannot provide enough power, it may not be sufficient.
If you have a sub woofer do you need an amplifier?
There are two types of subwoofers. 1. Active subwoofers 2. Passive subwoofers An active subwoofer will have a built-in amplifier. A passive subwoofer doesn't have a built-in amplifier which will require the use of an amplifier, the use of a power source.
Do you have to put a CD player for subwoofers?
no, a factory CD player can be used in a vehicle that has subwoofers attached. as long as the factory CD player in the vehicle has treble, bass, and subwoofer controls on it, it will be fine. if not, an aftermarket CD player will be the solution. with subwoofers, you need to control the amount of power that are ran through them. the amplifier is a control, but if not set correctly on the CD player, you could blow your subwoofers.
What wattage amplifier is ideal to power two twelve inch subwoofers?
depends on where your putting them and what kind they are
How much space do car subwoofers take up?
Subwoofer size varies depending on how much power they have and how they are designed. However, normally-sized subwoofers take up about 1 square foot of space, on average.
I have two 1200 watt subwoofers for my car Do you need an amp and if so what size Will they affect your battery much?
First you will absolutely need an amp to power any subwoofers. Nowadays subwoofers come along with amp..& normally one 1200watt subwoofer decrease your car battery lifetime to 2-4 month
