Need a better amp.. help!!!

[cfox10 10+ year member]

I knew I shouldn't have bought this cheap amp.. AC5000.1D | Planet Audio

but.. I did anyway. This is for an extra vehicle of mine that I drive during summer. It has one pioneer 12" champion pro 1krms in a sealed fiberglass box in the corner of my trunk.

IT *****! I think this amp is putting out 500 watts, maybe?! I need suggestions on a new amp that will do at least 1k at 2ohms, prefer more for future upgrade but not needed.. looking for around 200

ideas?

If you still have that around pay day I'd be interested. Imma try and sell this amp on cl..

Also, I switched my pioneer out for my JL and it's significantly better/louder, reason why that might be?

Because other than high end equipment, most Pioneer stuff is crap. What kind of JL sub?

W6s are nice, I'd continue running it if the enclosure specs are right for it and there's no issue with the woofer unless you want more SPL, then I'd sell both subs and upgrade. JL subs are usually pretty easy to sell

I have 4 gcons... for spl, but I wanted this a little louder seeing over 1k (supposedly) at 2ohms. It's hard to calculate port with a fiberglass enclosure (for me) so I stuck with sealed...
