Get a decent 2 channel and bridge it.

Alright, so what would be the difference from getting a 2 channel then a mono other then cost. well i be losing any performance?

No, not really, its just that most mono amps put out power at 1 ohm so you would need a bigger amp to get enough power at 4 ohms. There is a guy (tc3k... I think) who is selling a JBL amp that puts out plenty of power around that budget.

hifonics brutus bxi1208d should do around 400w @ 4, then give you room to upgrade subs and get 800 @ 2 and 1200 @ 1.

or find a 2 channel. like a sundown sax125.2. bridge to 4 ohms mono and get probably 400w out of it

He wont find a Sundown for under 200, almost sure.

Set the gains accordingly and have room to expand in the future.
