Any amp that will give you at least 1000rms of power. 2000rms would be better so you can have more headroom to play with.

When I built my system, I first upgraded my electrical (Big3), h/o alternator, and dropped in 1/0 cabling because I knew I was wanting at least a 1500watt system without adding batteries or a cap.

How much money do you want to spend? You can find amps that will put out 1000rms all day long for as little as $200. You can buy a high quality amp with true 1000rms ratings for as much as $1200.

Give us an idea of your budget and details about how you expect to power this this amp from your car's electrical system. Most cars are good for up to 500watt systems or a little more unless your alternator is putting out more than 100amps or better.

If we just tell you "ok, check out brand "x" and not verify if your current electrical will be good enough to power that amp we would be doing you a disservice.
