looking for a decent budget amp 450-600wrms @ 2 ohm

ok i have 2 powerbass m10's im a 2000 acura integra hatchback, in a ported box.....

i had a 475 wrms @2 ohm soundstream di.475.1 and they sounded great with it, until it fried (thinking it was a knockoff or a refurb) paid $99+ shipping NOT FROM EBAY

then i bought a boss cx1100m, 500wrms @ 2ohm, and it sounds like crap, its not exactly clear, and compared to the other amp it seems like it holds bass beats longer for some reason, any help to this problem is appreciated too.

so im looking for an amp that pushes 450-625wrms @ 2ohm for around like $125 max, id prefer to spend around $100

any ideas would be helpful

for that price your best bet or should i say best chance is find someone selling a used amp on ebay or a forum. and i would watch out for junk being how the price is so low

i have the same problem with my powerbass L10s i would save some money and go with the jl slash 500/1 that way the speakers get a solid 500watt wether 2 ohm 4 ohm its the same from 1.5-4ohm.

Look into MB Quart discus line.

the discus line is very solid the 1500.1 does almost 1600 so they are very adequate and can be had used at a good price.

i wouldn't get a pioneer amp espescailly for those subs they like power and you'd have to spend alot on pioneer to get that kind of power. the one i have is hot as hell even at 1/3 gain basically the same speakers but mine have like a 10once heavier magnet.

Orion 2500D, Almost 3kW@1 ohm, 1800W+@2 ohm.

that orion is a good bet as well if you really want raw power that is beastly.

that orion amp will blow the sub unless you turn it way down i wouldn't even put max wattage on these subs not that they can't take it just would kill their life exspectantcy
