Can anyone recommend me a budget Class-D amp to power a single SA-12D2 sub?

[maltaudio 10+ year member]

Looking to power a single Sundown Audio SA-12D2 subwoofer. I play mostly house and RnB. I have a budget of about $250. Looking for a class-D amp.

I have a KAC-8105D amp but its not enough to power the SA-12.

If possible, can you recommend me a European-brand sub (or a US-made sub that can be easily found in Europe) as I live in Europe and by buying from the EU I would avoid high postage costs and VAT.

Thanks !

i didnt think Europe had anything good going for it let alone have good audio.

I would look into Soundstrean TN1.1200D or PPI Phantom D1000.1 (they are the same amp inside). They cost about $200 (see onlinestereo.com), with RMS power output at 1ohm over 1000watts.

How much would that be shipped to Europe? There are some nice European brands but they are pricey though it might not be too bad for you.

B² audio - Sweet like Danish

Perhaps. Not sure about pricing but being Danish it might fit the bill.

I bought a Focal Solid 4 amp for my component speakers and it is great amp. French made.

Thanks Omega, these are a bit out of my price range. Quite expensive amps. Shipping to Malta usually costs me around $60-120

I think the Quota is like $300 here in the U.S. I could be wrong since its hard to get pricing. Its probably more affordable for you.

Refurbished Cadence Z1200 Class D 2400 Watt Competition Monoblock Car Amplifier | eBay

this is an american made amp with amazing quality and will be plenty of power and they ship intl direct from cadence. give them a pm and see the price shipped to you. I doubt it will put you over your budget.

Not sure how the MB Onyx line is for the class D, but they seem to have solid reviews for the 4 channel amps.

They have a 1000, 1500, and 2000 watt mono available. Maybe you ought to check them out? Can be had on ebay real cheap.

How do these compare to the Soundstrean TN1.1200D mentioned above and the MB Quartz mentioned below?

much better, American quality vs Chinese quality. its their older stock before they went Chinese/Korean. The mb quart and sounstream are Chinese based boards. Korean boards are much better with American above them. its underrated and their top line

How much are they in Europe? I thought they may be a little closer to his price range since he doesn't need it shipped over seas.
