500 rms or more at 2ohms, under 100?

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Are there any amps out there that will toss me a true 500+ at 2ohms for less than 100 dollars or so? The cheaper the better, I thought about Profile amps but they're crap, to the best of my knowlege

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, my best friend needs a system so I'm more or less piecing him one together and I'm trying to keep it as cheap as I can

Right now I have near crap, and although you're going to laugh, I'm looking at two 1230 Infinity 12's ported and tuned at 32 with 250-300w to each sub, I've got a set of JBL tweets I payed 85 for a year and a half ago that I'm putting in there, and a set of Type R Coax's for up front, I already have the amp kit too.

Now I need an amp

As it sits - Amp kit I had left laying around

Subs - Roughly 25-30 shipped per sub(not too bad)

Box - Plans from Moe Lester, I'll build and carpet it

Amp - I need suggestions!

ANYONE? Please?

with that kind of budget, id prob go with an used Hifonics BX605. it will do 500rms easy with a fairly good electrical system.

for few more bucks, they go for about $130 shipped new. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Hifonics-BRUTUS-BX605-A-B-CLASS-AMPLIFIER-MONO-99_W0QQitemZ5838367534QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah, I've sent people towards that amp a million times over, I'm just trying to think of something else.

If I'm gonna spend over 100 bucks on one, it'll be a JBL 600.1

I've seen monoblocks like mine go for under a C-note on eBay. Hard to catch but they are there from time to time.

How much is a Viper (or is it Directed?) 600d? DEI's stuff tends to be fairly reasonable most times...

Couldn't tell ya on the Viper's

I see a Viper 1200.1 for just over 100 bucks for now, it'll go for more I'm sure

I feel like a complete idiot and beginner to say it, but I found a Power Acoustik OV2-1200 amp for approx 75 shipped after it's said n done(its cheaper than that right now, but it'll get up to around there I assume)

It's rated 1200 max 2x250 at 4 2x300 at 2 and 600x1 at 4 bridged RMS

Odds that it will do 2x200 or greater at 4ohms = ??? If so, it might be worth lookin at *shrugs*

Then again, maybe not, it's brand new though
