EECiv has a cadence amp hes leting go. u should contact him. or u could contact kurtis as well i know hes got a stash laying around

 

Sound Stream TA880.2 Very clean power. You cant beat it for the price. I have it running a single vgw12 600 rms and pounds nice.

 

I was just looking at one of these today:

Crossfire VR4000D [img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] That should do you nicely

Or you could just run some amp by Alpine.....I guess...

 

Im using a memphis 1500D.. no complaints, 1500 at 2ohm

 

Concept CA525M - 525 watts rms @ 2ohm. Just did a Type R 12" in a slot port box powered by one of these amps in a 93 Stealth, customer was more than impressed. Amp carries a 2 year warranty on it.

very good suggestions, I was browsing ebay and I came across Audiobahn A8000T 800 Watt 1 Channel Amplifier (the price is right $169US), also the Rockford Fosgate 1000bd except for some reason every Fosgate amp that I had after 10min you could boil eggs on it if ran at 2ohm? Last amp I had was the ZR360 but that one went to my friend for his 12" JLW3-did a good job?

"Pair of White Gloves" LOL [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

IMO, there is better out there for the money to push a type-r. Check the for sale section.

 

the 8000T is overrated and BURNS up @ 2 ohms. cook eggs hot. but thats just my experience with them.

 

For heat my memphis might get a little warm. And thats after using it well over an hour.

There is a Memphis 500d for sale i believe, check with the member TBQ, its under $300 i believe.. he had it pushing the MTX 9500..
