Decent 500w-700w small amp on budget

[linvillegorge 10+ year member]

Ok, I'm looking for a decent quality amp for a pair of MA Audio 120XE subs (rated @ 350w RMS each) that puts out something around 500w - 700w RMS. The subs are wired for a 4 ohm load currently, but I'll rewire them if need be. The 760w Pioneer amp I am running at the moment (I just had it laying around) really blows. I'm partial to Hifonics amps. I know some people don't like them, but I have a 300w Hifonics amp that I ran to a MA Audio sub in a Jeep for 5 years. It got rained on, beat around, and just generally mistreated and it's still powering the 6.5" components in my Tahoe right now and sounding great. I'm looking to spend up to $225 shipped. I'd really like to find an amp that is small, say 13" x 9" or less. I don't even know if it's possible to find an amp that small in this power range. It'd be nice, but it's not a necessity. I just don't want a ridiculously huge amp. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Boss IQ1080.2

Its a cheap 2channel that will give you around 600 watts rms when bridged into a 4ohm mono load.

Funny part is its rated to putout 2160watts into a 4ohm mono load, these guys just don't get it, they would actually sell more stuff if they just rated there amps properly instead of making these rediculious numbers up.

Regardless of its insane rating it will give you around 600watts RMS to power your subs for a very good price.

Power acoustic PS21600, 700 watts RMS into a 4ohm bridged load.

That one would work nice.

Thanks for the input stones! I actually just went ahead and bought a Hifonics BX1000D last night from ikesound for $166. It's rated for 1000w@1 ohm, but I've heard from several people that it puts out more like 700w - 800w when running off of 12v. I figure it will be just fine as long as I set the gains carefully and don't get crazy with the bass boost. If I end up blowing the subs, I guess I'll just have to upgrade!
