Finding a good amp for 800w rms @ 4 Ohms?

[Innumerical]

I have two Kenwood KFC-W3011 pumping 800w rms at 4 Ohms and I my amp that I have is only pushing 300w rms at 4 Ohms (budget issues at the time). I'm looking for a new amp that's roughly around 800w rms at 4 Ohms, but I'm not sure what to get.

I was looking at the Boss OL3KD, and the SPL DK-2000D, but is Boss and SPL good quality brands? Are there any amplifier brands that I should NOT look at? My budget is around $350, but I could go a little higher. I'm not looking for anything too serious, but I don't want something crappy either.

It sounds like your subs can power themselves, you dont need an amp

I own a Reference 700s and it is only rated for 500 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. You have to drop it to 2 or 1 ohm to squeeze 700 watts out of it and then you kick into high current mode.

Ahh! Now I see why my model was called the "smokestream"

I do have a question about yours, does the board say Reference 500 on it like mine does:

never seen the board. Though i don't think it should, the 500 were the baller ones. Mine is not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thanks for the incriminating evidence, will make it much easier to convict you.

Just tell the cops to not kick down my door between the hours of 1:00 AM and 6:30 AM when I am usually sleeping. I get all pissy when someone wakes me up unexpectedly:furious:

Well, my wife is deceased

Prior to her getting sick from a neurological disorder, she only woke me up TWICE to tell me she couldn't sleep
