Suggestions for budget amp

Hey guys, it's been a while since I have been on here but I have a new daily driver car (06 Impala SS) and I'm putting together a basic everyday system.

So far I found a pair Rockford T1 12's in a custom box locally and I'm looking for a budget amp to power the set-up. I don't need anything expensive but I don't want anything to cheap.

When I was last involved in car audio there was a lot of hype around the Audiopipe amps (everyone was raving about the 3000.1 because it was cheap and did power), I see they now have a 1500.1 and a 2000 for very cheap prices that seem attractive. The reviews didn't seem that great but for the price it is what it is.

Can anyone recommend some good budget amps within 1500-2000 watts?

Get 2 of the "5000 watt" ones. $200 bucks for the pair and give each t1 their own.

I saw these, they use Audiopipe boards and from it looks like the 1500.1 just re-badged. I'm looking for just a single amp to deliver power at 1 ohm though. Running two of these @ 2 ohms would be insufficient.
