$400 or under 600-750 RMS monoblock?

[Bossman150]

I am obsessing over my amp choice now that I have for sure picked my sub (1 JL10w6v3). I want to get a really good amp to push it with at least 600 watts RMS @2ohms. I thought I was set on the Crescendo Audio Symphony 600.1 but I am worried I am liking that mostly because of looks and the price. I don't want to settle. A JL HD 750/1 would be my first choice but I really don't want to spend that much. Something else that needs to be considered is my OCD, right now I have a JX250 pushing my current sub and a Soundstream STL4.500 pushing everything else and the fact that they don't match drives me nuts. So if I could find an amp for my sub that also has a 4 channel amp that matches that would be ideal (another reason I was looking at the Symphony line).

Suggestions?

Why not just get a good 5 channel? The HD900/5 can be found relatively cheap online then you can save some space and not worry about matching. Also look at the PDX V9 both have the power you need on the sub channel and 100 per channel on the other 4 channels

I did think about that, but I already have everything run for two amps and its quite a bit more then I want to spend all at once.

Hmm I don't see that one on their page, everything on their page looks out of stock.

To clarify, I want a Class D, I don't have a ton of room on the back of the seats to mount it. Looking for an amp that would be better than the Crescendo Symphony 600.1. The Alpine PDX monoblock looks like a nice amp, not sure if Alpine is still really good or not and not sure I could get one from an authorized dealer for $400 or less.

What about about a Rockford Prime 1200D? Are they good amps?

I've got a Rockford T1000bdCP I'd sell within your budget. CP version rated at 1000 rms at 1ohm and 2ohm. Barely used. Got 1/0 to 4g reducers I could include as well.

Hmm that looks like a very nice amp, how old is it? Do you still have the original packaging? Pics?

This would be a sweet set up:

Sub amp:

Phoenix Gold RX 1100.1 Monoblock Amplifier

4 channel:

Phoenix Gold RX 400.4 Four Channel Amplifier

We could get both to you for $400 shipped.

An American Bass vfl mini hybrid 26801 d will be perfect for that sub and vehicles electrical of a big 3 and a good agm under hood,and she will slamm all day and sound good doing it,and run cool to the touch,and very efficient. From experiencing myself..It was running a pair of XFL 10s @1ohm for a bit,but at the moment she is running a single Audio Tecnix DVC4 ohm 12 in a small ported enclosure under a seat of a 2005 chevy x-cab along with the VFL 150.4, and sounds amazing.Clean and loud on the mids and highs, and hits the lows with chest banging results very clean.Great little sub amp..and been worth every penny..both have
