Need to get an amp to power a Skar VVX 12, need halp

[tf3090 10+ year member]

Currently powering my Skar 12 off a cadence f-700 with 400 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. However, I want to get something to do 800-1000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. My budget is somewhere around $150 for the amp, don't really want to spend that much more. Another thing, a bass knob is essential to me. When I wake up in the morning where I live (South Dakota), my car has been in freezing weather all night, so I play music with the bass knob all the way down in the morning so I can still play music without worrying about busting my subwoofer until it warms up.

So yeah, ~$150 budget for an 800-1000 watt RMS amp with a bass knob. What would you recommend?

Why don't you run your Skar at 2 ohms and get 700 out of that Cadence?

yeah he could power one coil, good thinking.

Maybe you could save up a little more for a better amp, think you would be better off in the long run.

The cadence does 800 watts @ 2 ohms, but my Skar can only run at 4 ohms or 1 ohm.

edit: where is the thread about that strong audio amp? Apparently they do 1100 watts @ 1 ohm, so I would probably just turn down the gain to get 800 watts. But I can't find any thread about it, so I don't know if it comes with a bass knob or not

What better amp would you recommend if I pushed the budget to ~$200/$250

solid is still the best amp in that price range seriously, its on par with a saz-1000, he is just selling them to get rid of his old stock
