~1000W amp suggestions

[jedwards83]

I have an Audiopipe APMI-1500 amp that is on the fritz that I need to replace. The amp keeps cutting in and out at random. It's not overheating and I've checked all wiring.

I have two 12" subs, Cerwin Vega VPRO124D that are rated for 700W RMS each. That figure is probably a bit overrated, but my APMI-1500 (supposedly 1400W RMS x 1) was about perfectly matched for them. So something in the range of 1000-1500W @ 1 ohm should suffice.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good amp? Looking for best bang for the buck, I don't need the absolute best, just something that will sound good that's reliable. Budget is $200 or under, give or take. Sonic has a Hifonics ZXX-2400.1D that seems appropriately sized for the right price, but I can't find any reviews or amp dynos online. Not sure about Hifonics quality these days. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd sure appreciate it!

Bang for buck it don’t get better than that unless you spend the extra 35-40 for the 3000.1 md. Probably perfect after box rise.
