Go to ebay, look for some of the older Soundstream or JL stuff.  Expect to pay $.50/watt or less.

This is a personal preference thing really, but I'd shy away from the newer SS stuff.  That old 500 is quality, the newer stuff won't match it, the older will.  Check posts about SS amps on here, there've been some good debates that cracked down on SS since their new owners in 2001.

I'm not a fan of Alpine amps, but that's just me.  Older PPI is comman on Ebay, they do well too.

i have installed  many new SS products and the van gogh 1600.2  its well over the 1600 watt rating  as far as the other amps i have had very good luck with them
