Hey everyone!
I just need an amp reccomendation.......I have 2 JBL GT120 GTO Series. They are 1000 watts a peice and right now i have a 300 watt Jensen amp bridged hooked up to both of them and it doesn't sound too bad at all. I wanna know, should i even get another amp? i mean it sounds pretty good but i'm not the best at judging sound. Anyway if so, i'm looking around $150-$200 and it doesn't need to be the best quality as long as it's not the worst. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks

If I read your post correctly, you are powering 2 1000 subs off of 1 300 watt amp, which means you are turning your amp up to full gain(I assume). You may want to reconsider that setup. As for a "cheap" 1000 watt amp, $200 probably won't cut it. The cheapest mono class d that I can think off is Kenwood's 8101D which retails for about $250.

you should ignore peak power ratings and go by RMS, those subs are set to handle 250 i think. so maybe an mtx 421d. look for something that puts out around 500 watts rms.
