I have a phoneix gold amp , sent pm

 

look around on ebay for some soundstream amps. good bang for the buck.

 

if you are looking for cheap and good reliable power, hifonics has been good to me:

the brutus bx1000d i believe is the model number can be had on ebay (thats where i got mine) for around 240 shipped: puts out 1000 watts rms @ 1ohm and comes with a bass knob


hifonics amp

this is mine




i can also vouch for soundstream which i had powering 2 jl w3v2 12"s

and of course you can always go with the jl amps... but they are downright expensive, gonna hook up a 10" in the s2k in the next week or so powered by a 250/1

 

That amp is only 250 watts x 1 channel into 4 Ohms

I need 500 watts x 1 into 4 Ohms.

 

I wasn't reading, single voice coils limit your options a lot... ill see what else i can find


brutus bx1500d


thats the nice thing about the jl's... 500w/1 at any ohm load (within reason)

 

wow...

audiobahn amp


and you can't go wrong with ppi
