500-600w rms @ 2 ohm amp suggestions

[qpaudio]

I recently built a box for 2 12" subs and i plan to get the new bio 2.0 ct sounds subs that are rated at 250 rms, so i need a super budget amp that can push 500-600 watts rms at 2 ohms... any suggestions would help and my price range is 120 max but id really apreciate less.

If you don't mind used, I have a JBL GTX500 I'd be willing to let go of for $65+shipping. It's in perfect shape... Just went much bigger //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I believe Steve Meade tested a version of this amp and it did well over rated. It's less than a year old

lol your user name is same as website.. have u ordered subs yet? about only think u get at that price is used except maybe the ppi ion650 but the 1k is normally just few $ more get that., if u can the 650 is $99 very tiny amps but they were tested to do almost rated power which is more than can be said for most other amps in that price range.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Precision-Power-iON-i1000-1-1000-Watt-Mono-Small-Compact-Subwoofer-Amplifier-/182013762602?epid=1437663371&hash=item2a60dd9c2a:g:NcQAAOSwJb9Ws~1l&vxp=mtr

I would look into the jbl the dude on here offered. I have a rockford fosgate prime r-500 I'd let go for a similar price.

If you want new a rockford fosgate prime 500 definitely isn't a bad route, or a decent 1200w amp like the ppi or soundstream tn1200.1

CT Sounds 1400.1 does ~450 @ 2ohm with room to grow with 900 watts at 1ohm. Very nice amp. https://www.ctsounds.com/collections/amplifiers/products/at-900-1d

Oops slightly over your price point but worth it.

agree with KAM here, thats a pretty decent price for a kardon ampto my memory, kardon (the parent of jbl) has done and still does some very decent stuff. Hell, they powered the beast for a while (Alma Gates'(RIP) bronco). I shipped my SQ2200.1 (an 18 lb amplifier) for around $20 from southeast south dakota to OKC, OK, so all in you should be around $85 for a pretty decent amp, that being said, this jbl wont weigh even half of the amp i shipped, so you shouldnt have too much shipping costs

Hell I could do shipping for $10 anywhere in lower 48. And yes its a very solid amp

The used JBL mentioned above is a pretty damn good deal. JBL amps are built well and meet or exceed their rated power. James B. Lansing was a highly respected pioneer in the audio field and the companies that he started have all been successful due to the high level of quality and performance of their products.

If you want new I would stretch your budget an extra $20 and go with a Rockford Fosgate Prime series. The 500w mono runs around $140. Prime amps do slightly more than their rated power and RF amps in general have exceptional engineering and build quality.

Phew... I just tested out the GTX on my AMM-1 and the little amp puts out WAY more than I thought... Hell at 4 ohms I got 685 watts out of it. Kind of want to keep it around now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
