Need a new sub amp, help!

Hey guys, about 3 weeks ago my trusty Crossfire 1000 blew on me so now I need a new one for my car. I need an amp somewhere in the range of 1000@1ohm to run my Image Dynamics IDMAX 12" sub. I havent bought amps in about 4yrs so I really am clueless. Any advise would be great. Thanks.

$350-$500? Like I said, I haven't shopped in awhile so I really don't know whats out there, but hopefully my pricerange will allow for something.

you could maybe checkout the new USAmps here http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=136408 and i see a few amps that fit the bill. contact flakko about them. i'm not quite sure how much those are going to cost but maybe flakko can work with you on pricing. USAmps are pretty dam solid.

Could I run a 2ch amp on my sub & still get enough power to it? I was looking at the Fosgate P6002. The specs are:

* Max power watts per channel: 1800W @ 2 ohms

* 600W RMS (continuous) x 1 @ 4 ohms, bridged

* 300W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 2 ohms

* 150W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 4 ohms

My single sub is a D4, if I remember right..its been a couple years.

well the problem is that if you just running that one idmax and your sub is DVC 4 ohms, then you can only achieve a 2ohm or 8ohm load. so most likely you going to run the sub @ 2ohms so you will need an amp that is stable @ 2ohms and that amp you listed seems like it will not be stable @ 2ohms. not many two channel amps are stable @ 2ohms mono.
