Hey, seen these for sale on the net (etronics.com) going for 289 US. That's very tempting, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with these amps? Any good? Do they put out what they say? Any info on em would be much appreciated, thanks guys.

I haven't used one but many people claim to like them. Put's out 1300-1400rms at two ohm or less and built pretty decent. Nothing special about them though, and they lack a sub-sonic filter.
For a better price most people get a quote from ikesound.com then get sounddomain.com to price match it. Sounddomain is a registered dealer so you will have a warrenty with them. Shipping is quick (like 3 days) to Canada.
Lot's of power for the price.

nice amp, only thing is the crossover is not that great and no subsonic filter. Good solid power.

Thanks guys, sounds like a sound investment to me. I'll see what I can do about that sounddomain deal too.

Same as 2ohm. Underrated a bit and will likely do ~700rms.

I don't think there is a way to make the 600.1 put out around 1000 wrms. Unless you have exstensive EE background and want to heavily modify it. Why don't you just get a 1200.1 if you want that kind of power. They are cheap maybe about 300 cdn.
