Well I think if your looking for under $200 you may have to pick-up a used amp to get more power then you have now. However having said that have you tried to run them with that amp yet. Its a true 300wrms amp and those subs will pay with no issues using 150Wrms each. Just because they handle up to 350 a piece does not mean they will not play properly with half power.

I see someone else went shopping at Future shop yesterday

I use a Kenwood 8152D to power my 2 current Reference 1230W's, and it should be fine with the perfect 12's. I got it for 300 but it was a deal from my install shop. Unfortunately I have to finish rebuilding my boxes before I can use them as they mount deeper than the 1230W's.

OK the RF is ok, the Audiobahn is lucky to be 500Wrms, stay away from the Volfenhag and the PG is around 550Wrms. But also keep int mind shipping, duties, brokerage and taxes.
