Right power amp

[KRYPTO 10+ year member]

Newbie here looking for advice on an amp.

I'm running 2 12" Type R's (dual 4ohm) in custom sealed boxes tuned for around 30hrz. I just ran 1/0 gauge power and ground wire to the rear. Still debating if I'm going to run a second battery or not. Either way I"m looking at a couple different amp brands right now and was thinking around 2000rms

Hifonics

Cadence

Memphis

RE Audio

ARC audio (kinda spendy)

The only ones I've heard of are Hifonics and Memphis. From the specs it seems like the Cadence amps are very good for the price.

Any advice or recommendations are highly appreciative.

Sealed boxes aren't tuned to any frequency and I wouldn't put 2000 watts to 2 type r's.

I know the subs are only 600rms each so I would need 1200rms total for both. I was thinking if I get around 2000rms I wont be working the amp and can upgrade subs in the future.

I would send a type r 1000 watts and I like Sundown amps. Lots of great ones to choose from though, are you interested in new or used.

Either new or used. I'm only looking to spend about $350 on an amp right now.

Cadence amps are solid. Hifonics are decent for budget setups. Memphis are good, but fairly pricey for what you get. Dont have experience with RE amps. Arc is very good, but pricey. You see more people using Arc for mids/highs and comps then for driving subs due to their outstanding SQ

yeah I'm leaning towards Cadence due to there THD ratings and overall power.

I've heard the Memphis amps run fairly hot
