Need Help picking an amp

[B-Lav]

I have 2 12-inch Sony Xplod Subs (1200 watts max peak) and I need a new amp to push it. I only have 200 to spend on an amp... so do you have any suggestions?

While I haven't used the KAC-7201, I did own the KAC-929 (same thing, different heatsink), and it wasn't that great. I don't know if they've made improvements on it, though ...
Do you have the single voice coil models or the dual voice coil models ?

Do you plan on upgrading your subwoofers in the future ?

Are you using a ported enclosure (or do you plan on using a ported enclosure) ?

I dont plan on upgrading my subs anytime in the future.. unless I can somehow sell these and get better ones without spending monye, which is doubtful.

I got the single voice coil model. and I got no idea what a ported enclosure is... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
