Looking at a few new different types
1
2
3
4 <<< The original amp I wanted to get.
Since I have 2 amps running at 1500W, wouldn't a 3000W be needed to run the highest? One thing I still haven't mastered is subwoofers and amplifiers..

First of all. Get those Wal-Mart power numbers out of your head. "RMS Wattage" is the only thing you should concern yourself with as far as power...Its fairly simple to match a sub with an amp, you just have to know some simple things.
Find out what final ohm load you need (I.E. D4 + D4 = 4/1ohm)
Then find out what RMS wattage you need (I.E. 500wrms + 500wrms = 1000wrms)
-this number can vary quite a bit, running 10-15% over the number you need is not a bad idea and wont hurt the subs as long as you tune your amplifier properly.
Then the rest is just researching brands and gettign the best bang for your buck...

Right now I'm at about $300 or a little over, and I'm running 2 15" Alpine Type R's, the new versions.

no, are they dual 4 ohm, or dual 2 ohm coils?
since they're 15's go with at least 800 each....

That first Hifonics you posted looks pretty good. After my next paycheck I might buy that one!
Good selections though, thanks.

what is the final impedance do you need on the amp? you need to know that before even thinking about any amps. Second, it will be easier and more feasable to buy 2 seperate amps instead of one huge amp that will be very expensive. Third is where will you be installing the amp/s? you need to know how much room you have to work with. MOST IMPORTANTLY though is will your current electrical setup allow you to power all the amps you need?

Which amp produces a legit and clean 2K RMS for only $300?
