Car amplifier died, need a replacement

[ALDJ253]

Does anyone know of any amps that can do 500 watts rms at 4 ohms? My current amp has died on me, and I need a replacement for now.

How about a subwoofer that is 12 inches, will do well with that power, and do well in a sealed box? I am mainly looking into sealed so I can have some trunk space back, so I can get rid of the low end subs that I have taking up a lot of room.

I am looking for as low as I can go in price, without going too low in quality. Maybe around $250 for an amp, and $250 for a sub.

Or, if anyone has any recommendations on a 12-inch sub ( that is good in a sealed box setup) + an amp that would be around 400-650watts rms, I am all ears! I can save for everything at once but, I am trying to keep it around 500 watts rms so I won't have to upgrade any further than the big 3 upgrade, so saving up and not getting the amp first would be pointless.

$165 way under your budget tested and proven to make rated power and will have much more power on tap for when you want to upgrade to a bigger system down the road.

I haven't run sealed subs in over 10 years so someone else will have to help you out there.

get a lot of power, set gains till your volts drop down to 12.8 and you are fine. Dont believe in that stay within 500 watts bullsh*t Always have headroom, you dont have to use all 1500 watts.
