Got the new subs, got the new box now just need help with an amp

[Bkag 10+ year member]

Okay so I have 2 Mb quart reference 15's (700w rms each) and I need a reasonably priced amp to power the duo, the install shop I go to said they would take my old sub amp and box as a full trade in for a 2000w nitro amp but I am kinda shying away from that and thinking it would probably be better for me to craigs list my old equipment and buy a new amp with that money. So basically what amp should I get, I am looking to spend as much as my fusion power plant is worth (http://www.caraudiomag.com/specialfeatures/0612_caep_fusion_pp_112pk/index.html).

Thanks in advance

Dang those are all a little pricey, is there nothing really in the 2-$300 range?

Well u might can find one of those amps used. If your looking for sumthing new u might need to check out a hifonis brutus mono amp. Great power for the price.

Okay sounds good, I'll shop around.

Oh and I am right in thinking Nitro is a POS brand aren't I?

My friend seems to think Nitro isn't so bad haha now I don't know, is it or isn't it a crappy brand?
