Best SQ amp on budget?

[XtheoneandonlyX 10+ year member]

What would be the best amp to use to power a set of Rainbow C365 profi vanadium kicks (i think peak is 180 and rms is 150...its been awhile since i messed with them) for under $700. I have them in a project car (07 mustang gt), and I am looking to get really good SQ in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to some experts on this forum, you can use a Pyle amp, just because it can test the same as a high end amp, and you wont hear a difference.

The amp is the least important part of the equation. I wouldn't use a Pyle amp for reliability reasons and the fact that it won't make much power before distortion becomes audible. What I would use is the most powerful decent amp I could find. I would then detune it to keep it comfortably within its low distortion linear range. Pretty much any decent amp will be more than up to the task of powering a SQ oriented system.

well i have my subs on identical one, they are soundsplinter rl-i8s. For the subs the amps are fine. but the comps keep cutting out at 2/3 volume on my deck which is at like @ 42 of 62. (pioneer i don't remember the numbers, it was a average quality. I think the DEH-P9800BT is the newer model.) I have rewired the entire car, and have tried to make the trunk extremely cool, but yet i still have problems, so I plan on just replacing the amp.

Sorry to thread jack, but can anyone recommend a good amp that will run pretty efficient around 600-750@2ohms? Looking at about a 275.00 or so budget.
