2000-2500wrms @ 1 ohm under $450

[Undisputed King 10+ year member]

I am looking to power my AQ HDC315 D2. I had originally bought 2 Orion HCCA D2400's to strap, but I didnt like the idea of 2 amps, and having to split the 1/0 and the rca's. So I sold them and I am now looking for my next amplifier. I want something that will push that AQ, and I have heard around 2000wrms would do good. But it never hurts to overshoot it a bit, but I really dont want to go over than 2500wrms because I dont want to blow the sub. So I want an amp that will do that kind of power @ 1 ohm and stay under $450 shipped. Cheaper the better, it just all depends on the build quality, according to the build quality I will pay an according price. Just give me some ideas on good deals under 450shipped. Links would be helpful. I was looking at an PA A3000DB, heard they are good power for the price. But I want something that will last too. Maybe also an amp that will do that kind of power @ 4 ohms? Of course I probably wont find one in the price range. Oh and I would rather buy new or refurbished, but from a reputable seller, I dont like the idea of buying from the classifieds, I have heard too many bad luck stories. Thanks!

Yeah I was looking at that AQ2200D, great deal, but first I want to see whats the cheapest I can get an amp that will push that power. I would preferrably like a class D amplifier, because of efficiency. Alphasonik PMA1200DA($295 shipped) rated at 2400wrms @ 1 ohm? Is Alphasonik any good? I was looking into buying one a few months back but I was told to not even use it as a paper weight. And I can get a PA A3000D rated at 2300wrms @ 1 ohm for $267 shipped. I just want a good deal for the money. I would rather spend the least amount possible but get that wattage and unclipped I need if you know what I mean while not so cheap as to compromise longitivity of the amplifier.

please tell me ur joking

But if I can find a awesome deal on an amplifier then why not spend the full $450 you know? I am currently looking to locally buy a new Visonik V4000XD rated at 3500wrms @ 2 ohm. But ill only be running it at 4 ohm. If I can get that for under $450 ill do it. But it would be nice to have headroom for when I get a second HDC315. At the moment I only have 2 batts, and stock alt. I will buy an alternator sometime this summer. An 250A alt from DB Electrical.
