Alright guys, I have tried the search and been doing some research but it is overwhelming! So I decided to start a thread, so forgive me if you posted this a million times. I need a 1ohm stable amp that will put out around 1000W RMS. It will be feeding 2, 4Ohm DVC Type R 12's in a sealed 2cf box. (wired to 1 ohm of course) I had a Hifonics bx1500d for a year or so then it took a dump on me. So I need new blood. I need to keep it under 300 bones if possible. Been looking at everything from MA audio, Directed, Orion, and all of those types. I know I will not get some amazing amp for 300 but it is what I have to work with. So give it to me audio guru's, what are my options. Even a good amp with less watts is okay, just don't want to starve my subs. Thanks in advance!

I have an Elemental Designs Nine.1 amplifier and love it...lots of clean power.
1200 watts at 1 ohm...plenty for two Type Rs.
There are a lot of people that hate eD though...they've come a long way though...a lot better service than in the past...5 year warranty from defects

check out the Rockford power line or better yet find a old school Soundstream amp mine is stable down to 1/4 of an ohm

You can get an amazing amp for 300 bucks! I've got a brand new Orion 1200watt mono D amplifier if your interested for $300, and no you are not mis-reading this post, lol! ------------- Do whatever makes you happy in life without diminishing the happiness of others

other options are the kenwood 9103d for about 300 that does 1ohm at about 1000watts
the rockford p1000.1 that you speak of retails for $650

I know its a little late now, but I have had tremendous success with Memphis' 1100D. Insane power, relatively inexpensive and very small footprint (good for vehicles who dont have a lot of room).
