Need some advice

[teh_fist]

Hey all first post Ive been searching through the reviews but wanted some advice first, I will need some recommendations on how to drive a 12" 3kw peak 1000-1500rms subwoofer (Might be two of these).

Im looking to spend £200-£500 ($300-$800) depending on your advice, I understand the cowboy rating game and you get what you pay for but there are always deals around.

Spending mid range money for an amp I would want to buy new and have a reputable company that upholds warranty claims and available in the UK.

Thanks for the links the amps look awesome for the money but are any of the rms ratings credible or reviewed here? only thing that worrys me as well is none of them state continuous and the 8 gauge internal wiring doesn't fill me with confidence on a 3000w rms $800 amp.

What are the speakers you are using?

 

[teh_fist]

two or one vibe space V2's, midrange subs but will do the job.

The car they are going in is relatively small but theres an offer on that makes it just another £60 for another subwoofer, I figure thats a better warranty deal.
