How about a US Amps 1000DE or 500DE?
Or a Mmats d300HC?


Maybe the small idea is there, and have a ton of power but they might be costly.

It's powering a sub, right?

Pancake, I have an "old school" PPI ProMos50 "cheater" amp that is rated for 50x2 @ 4 ohms and 400x1 @ 2 ohms mono. Its the exact same amp (heatsink and all) as the PPI 2150 rated for 150x2/600x1 @ 4 ohms. The ProMos50 is just the high current version so I suspect the output is the same, just achieved at a lower impedance.

The heatsink is 12x8x2 which is in spec with your needs. Now "affordable" is a relative term drop me an IM if you're interetsed and we can chat more.

The older Fosgate amp you're thinking of is a 250m, rated for 250x1@4 ohms, 500@2 ohms. PUts out more like 400 & 700 watts respectively but is a tad larger than what you need.

Any Amp on the MArket can produce a Decent 500 RMS, but if you want to use that power as Efficiently as you can You need to make sure Your box is BIG, an amp can put out LOTS of juice Put if it's Hanpered by a small Box Design YOU WILL definatly LOSE SPL!

I had a Rockford PWR 200@ 470 WATTS RMS. With TWO rockford pwer 12 @ 400 RMS EACH in a SHARED ported enclosure of 3.5 cubic FEET tuned to 65hz. And I hit a DECENT 139 DB. Which is pretty loud.

If my box had been a little smaller then it probably wouldn't of hit as HARD. [img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]
