I have 2 10" thunder 8000's and i have a rockford fosgate 401s amp. Something happend to the amp and im gettin an estimate for it to get repaired. I was wondering if i should keep this amp or get a better one for those subs. Will that amp have enough power for those subs and how much should i pay for the amp to be repaired?

do you have single voice coil or dual voice coil? either way, i would look into getting a larger amp. it is underpowering those subs. there isn't a problem with this as long as you understand that if you crank the gains it will cause problems. can't suggest an amp until we know the voice coils.

If they are dvc then you could go with a JBL BP-600.1.

The 401 is probably not worth fixing, I’m not saying it’s not a good amp it just may be more then its worth. If you do decide to replace it the JBL 600.1 is defiantly a good replacement.

im not sure if i want to fix the amp either i dont want to pay alot of money just to get it fixed thats why i asked about how much i should pay. I also dont just want to have that amp lying around broken at least if i get it fixed there are already people offering to buy it. If i sell it i could get a better amp.

I would buy a JBL, JL, or kicker amp to replace your broken amp and sell the broken one on e-bay as "not working-needs repair". Most people on here would recommend JBL or JL way before Kicker, but I have been using the Kicker DX series amps for about 3 years, since they came out. No problems at all and I pound my subs extremely hard. My 1200.1 stays hot. amp for thunder 8000? -- posted image.
