JBL, RF, or MTX

These are all decent companies when it comes to amps. I've owned amps from all three. Go with whichever one is cheapest and powerful enough to power what your trying to power. MTX and RF amps are definately built cleanly and tidy inside. I've never opened up a JBL amp but never had any problems with the ones I've owned. All three always put out more than they are rated for (MTX and RF will come with birthsheets. JBL you'll just have to believe me.)

Kenwood KAC9102D 400 dollars Canadian

Power ratings:

Maximum output power: 1700 watts

Power output at 2 ohms, at 14.4V (100Hz, 0.9% THD): 850 Watts x 1RMS

Power output at 4 ohms, at 14.4V (20Hz-20kHz, 0.05% THD): 500 watts x 1RMS

Low-Pass Crossover: 50Hz-200Hz, 24dB/oct

Infrasonic Filter: Off/15Hz/25Hz (selectable), 18dB/oct Bass Boost: Off / -+18dB (variable), 40Hz

850 watts RMS for 400 bucks retail, reliable and clean for alot less then the other guys.

FYI, this model was originally intended for sale at Future shop and other BB stores but when the stores learned that the retail was going to be alot less then the equivilent MTX and Rockford Fosgate and JBL models they refused to carry them so private dealers were given them instead.

Oh, and the dealer cost on this model is $289.00, keep that in mind as you haggle the price.( let em have 25% aleast)
