What amp do you recommend for the Sub?

Kenwood besides HU's are pretty much just all terrible these days... PPI's are also terrible compared to what they used to be...

Any recommendations that stay around the same price range?

I have a 4 channel that could run your whole system haha

A good 4 channel would be much simpler huh?

Suggestions?

If you bridge the rear channels for a DCON it would be perfect... How about that? Actually you could run a Dcon on a channel each with this beast...

This sounds pretty good. The KW should be adequate for the DCON with D4 coils and the PPI Phantom 600.2 is a very good Class D 2 ch. for the $.

Personally, I would look for a 1ohm stable sub amp that produces 500 watts rms at 4ohms though for a few bucks more. The DCON with D2 coils would be wired to 4 ohms. This would allow some flexibility in the future if you decided to add another D2 DCON for 1000w rms at 2ohms or a sub that would take more power.

Example: Audio Savings | MB Quart ONYX ONX1.1600D 1600 Watt Mono Block Car Audio Class D Amplifier/Amp

just my.02

Overall could be a pretty decent setup. Get that Dcon in a nice enclosure and you should be pretty happy with just about any of the options you listed.
