I'm looking for an amp to power a single Kappa Perfect 10.1 (4ohms) in a sealed box (.7 cu ft).

Something between 400w and 600w is about right.

For the longest time I have been looking at used Alpine MRD-605's, mainly because of the digital readouts of voltage and the DSP filters they have.

Recently I'm also considering Pioneer PRS amps because they have the power output thats just about perfect.

Unfortunately both are becoming hard to find within a budget that has shrunk since my wife lost her job.

Are there any other respectable brands (no Audiopipe momentary bon'ers) that will substitute?

Budget? How about this?..it does 500w @ 4ohms http://www.amazon.com/JBL-MS-A5001-Watt-1-Channel-Subwoofer-Amplifier/dp/B0040X31KO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1432622719&sr=8-8&keywords=jbl+500+amp

I've had my eyes on that JBL, it would be perfect in size and capabilities.

Its even on sale at Sonic Electronics for $179, but I doubt it will still be on sale by the time I can afford it.

Oh well, thanks for the lookout.

Just a FYI I don't know if you have done any deals with him or not, but audiobaun is a good guy to buy from. I've gotten a few things from him. Fast shipper and his communication is superb.
