[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8339222, member: 658055"] First off, don't do what globalminds_ent said. Second, when you wire two 4 ohm subs together, you'll have a final load of either 8 ohms or 2 ohms, depending on if you choose to wire them in series or parallel. That being said, you'll want to look for an amp capable of putting out 400-500W RMS @ 2 ohms and you'll want to wire it in parallel. Anything that can do that at 8 ohms is going to do a lot, lot more at two and ultimately be way out of your budget. Third, check Craigslist. I've found lot of good secondhand stuff on there for cheap. You're not going to find a decent amp new at that price. There are cheap amp brands, but they're cheap for a reason. I've got a few minutes to kill, I'll check CL for you. Edit: Actually, I have no idea how Iowa is laid out; which one of these cities is closest?
