Small amp - big power?
I think the smallest amp you will get in that range is a MMATS D300...not the D300HC...just the D300, its insanely small and does 600wrms...for small amps you will have more luck if you stick with class D cause they can make em smaller due to less heat issues

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]

Design and application is everything
Not bad numbers though my buddy did 145.2 on the old mic with two kenwood wave tens on a alpine mrd 100m. Hows that for effiecient use of power considering the boxes were only 1.2 cube each

</font>[/QUOTE]I didn't bother re-tuning the BOX frequency when I installed my subs, but I figure it would have hit higher if I tuned it lower.
