Best sub amp for 300 bucks?
I'm looking to power a setup of either 4 SVC 12s, or 2 DVC 12s. I been looking at the MTX RFL 1200D, as many owners' birthsheets put it at 1250 or so RMS at 1 ohm, and it only runs 260 bucks new. However...for the budget, are there better options you think?
And what about subs? They'll be in a custom 5-6 cube labrynth ported box. I just want the loudest system I can get for 500-600 bucks total. Can 1000W be had?

Re: Best sub amp for 300 bucks?
For $300, you can buy a very nice amp if you buy used. You can get a Sundown 1500, AQ 2200, RF T1000bdcp, DC 1.2, etc. If you don't mind buying used, you have a lot of options. If you want to buy new, you will still have a lot of options but 1,000 watts should be no problem.
Vehicle: 2007 GMC Yukon Denali
Sub: 12" Ascendant Audio Havoc
Sub Amp: Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp
Box: 1.89^3 box (custom built)
Headunit: Pioneer AVH-8400BH
Wiring/Accessories: Rockford Fosgate 0 gauge
Batteries: Shuriken-80 and Carquest 70
Electrical: Big 3 and stock 160 amp alternator

Re: Best sub amp for 300 bucks?
older rf bd amps are great and would be good for that set up in that price range if you don't mind new.

You can buy a beefy 2k rms amp for around $250 so you just gotta look around really.

Re: Best sub amp for 300 bucks?
My list. In order. For a $300 budget. Take it FWIW.
I am adding an amp to the far and away #1 here even though it's a bit over budget at $350ish. The SoundStream DTR 3400. If you have $300, dig around in the couch cushions and find another 50-60 bucks.
1 - Used American Bass VFL
2 - Used AQ2200
3 - DB Drive pd2000.1
4 - Used Sundown 1500
5 - Used Skar 1500
6 - SoundStream DTR 1700
7 - PowerBass ASA 1500
8 - Used Massive 3k (2 ohm amp)
9 - Used Crunch GP Pro 3k
10 - SoundStream RUB 2500
Noteables (and only because they're discontinued, hard to find or not always priced at or under $300)...
- MBQuart Discus
- Used Atomic or RD stuff (1600, 1750, etc)
- IA 20.1 (if you see one for $300, snatch it)
- Kicker 1500 (solid 2 ohm amp. expensive and not very versatile, IMO)
- Rockford Fosgate t1500

It's a bit of a toss up there, but because there are so many refurbs out there that some have had trouble with, I gave the nod to the AQ. But you'll notice it's a used AQ and a new DB Drive. So, people can make thier own decisions.

I would get a new PPI P1000.1 or Boston Acoustics GTA-1000m, if you can still find the later new.
