Looking for a good 1500 watt rms amp for my sub

[VTS 10+ year member]

Well I am getting rid of the current amp i have (ma audio 802sx) and am looking for something different to use. I was looking to snag a class D amp this time and was hoping to find something in the $200-300 price range if possible. My sub is a phoenix gold 12" titanium elite with dual 4 ohm coils. The RMS on the sub is 1200 but from what I hear, I need a good 1500rms to push it well. Not sure which brands to even look at anymore. Any ideas?

fosgate t1500?

Doesn't that only put out 1000 rms at 2ohms? Since my sub is a Dual 4 ohm, I will be running it at 2 ohms. It is a little out of my price range atm as well :/

Sundown SAE-1200d or SAZ-1500d, both are underated. Search the classifieds, always good deals to find.

EDIT: crap you need power at 2 ohms.

if you find a t1500 for a good enough price, snag it. it might be "rated" at 1000rms at 2ohm, but it probly does closer to 1250-1300

kicker zx1500.1 is a great amp and will give you around 1700 rms at 2 ohms

Probably would go with the Kicker since you are looking for 1500+ at 2 ohm.

Thanks for the responses. I will look into getting one of those two pretty soon. Quick question about the clarion amp...I saw that it was a class G/H. I have never seen this class before so what exactly is it?

Just another topology like class D, class A/B etc. The sonic differences, if there are any, will most likely be negligible in your situation.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Try to find a MTX 1501d, great amps. I've had many in the last 10 years or so.
