    Go with a reputable name in an amp. There really is not substitute for quality. Some good ones are JL Audio, in your set up would recommend the JL 500/1. I have one and it has performed flawlessly for the past 18 months. Drives the 2 ohm load I am giving it without any problem.. In my other ride I have all Clif Design amps. I haven't had any problem with them either, and they are available on the cheap...I have the CD1.1LX and it has performed really well for me. Never has cut out, and I have 3 10's in a series/parellel config...So if you are looking at saving some money, would def. recommend the Clif Amp, you could get 2 a the same cost as the JL's...

    You should also look into HiFonics amps, especially if you can order online. MTX, Alpine's V12 series, Kicker, Diamond Audio, Polk, and a few others you should also consider.

    Ranked from best to worst (and also most expensive to leat, I'll bet):
    USAmps
    Crossfire
    Diamond Audio
    JL
    Polk
    Kicker
    Alpine V12
    MTX
    HiFonics
    Phoenix Gold

    And of course there's a considerable amount of overlap in that list. Really, if you get any of those, you won't be disapointed.

    WOW!

    I've been seconded by a car audio giant yet again! What a feeling!

    Mac??? eh...he doesn't know what he's talkin about...jk. I'll go ahead with what they said though, you'll be fine with any of those. They're all reliable and put out their rated power, if not more. I just picked up a Hifnoics amp myself, and it's great thus far...
