Default So I got some new Kicker CVR 12"s 4ohm for a killer price! But now I need a amp!

What amp should I get for two of these. I know I need a amp to overpower these speakers with I dont plan to do . I always heard that if I get a underpowered amp and try to turn up the sound I will most likeley end up blowing up my speakers also If I overpower my speakers I could also blow em up but it will be more difficult to do so. Just recommend a amp for me please in the 400-500 $ range.
