Budget amp

does anyone know a amp around 100-200$ thats reliable, has a good name and rep. Has around 700-900 rms. 1 or 2 channel. im looking to power my pioneer premier spl sub of 1000 rms. Pioneer Premier TS-w3004spl, Bass Slammer vented, Kenwood KDC MP-4028, and a KAC-9152d.

You're not going to find an amp that cheap with a genuine 700-900 watts RMS.  You may find some cheap POS amps that claim that kind of power for under $200, but they will be crap and not worth the time it takes to write the check.  Give that sub power from a good amp and it will perform well.  Give it crap power from a POS amp and you will probably blow it.  To get a subwoofer amp capable of a genuine 700-900 watts RMS, expect to pay more like $500 and up.Support the12volt.com

Hey JDM, I have a Power Acoustik TS620-2 which is running 150wrms x2 @4ohms to two RF P110S4's and I think it sounds pretty damn good, I got it for $120 of sounddomain. I would suggest from my experience with PA that they are good budget amps. I have seen higher power ones that look like they're in your price range, just a suggestion though, hope this helped.-Don't buy it, Build it-

Hey, there is no way a $200 amp is going to properly power one of those.  They are a sweet ass sub and they are very power hungryClarion DB36MP

Well it all comes down to the fact that you get what you pay for.  In your case it is probably better to get a high quality amp with a lower RMS than get a really cheap amp with a high RMS.  The better amp will sound a lot better and be more true to its RMS rating.  IF you are stuck on a cheaper amp with a high RMS look at Profile.  I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but I've had Profile before and liked it.  I know it is most likely overrated, but they put out enough power in my circumstances.  That's just my opinion.That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Yeah refurbs you can usually get cheap, and they actually work quite well.  Try and find a a mono class d referb that does about 800-1000W RMS depending on the independace of that sub.  Or you could go for like a kenwood but it wuld hvae to be 2 channel bridged.  Have a look on ebayClarion DB36MP

What do you care?  You are looking for the cheapest solution.  Refurbs are just as much of a risk buying as buying online at all IMO.

i bought a refurb from mtx. and had to send it back. i quit working  after about 45 minutes of playing. and it didnt go into thermal protection. they paid for the shipping back to me and the 2nd one i got did the same thing!  i havent done anything with it. im not paying to send it back again. if i keep sending them back i could buy two new ones. i wanted to replace my small amp with a bigger one. but i found a arc audio 2050 at a pawn shop for $25.
