Amps for SEs

[netzero 10+ year member]

I'm building myself a new box for my two 12" SEs. I have them on an AQ1200d right now, but they're begging for more. I'd love to have 800-1000 on each to see what they can do. Whats an affordable amp that will do 1600-2000 @ Ohm?

I know Power acoustik isn't that great, but some say they'll do a little less then rated solidly. Do you think that something like a A3000DB would do 1600-2000RMS?

Heres some specs, any other well priced suggestions?

• Fully Regulated PWM Power Supply

• Four Way Protection Circuit

• 1 Ohm Stable

• Bridging Synchronization

• Variable Subwoofer EQ @ 45Hz

• Phase Switch 0-180

• Remote Dash Mount Low Level Gain Control With Cable

• S/N Ratio: 100 db

• THD: 0.5%

My new box is 4.9 cubes tuned to 32Hz with 50.24 in^2 port area with flared pvc ports.. My old box was crap 6+ cubes out of osb tuned to 27Hz.... I think my new one will be louder, but going down in volume i know they'll take more power.
