@macsdad ; he has a bc 2000. That's about the best you'll get for $300

Love that amp but it's rated for 2200 at 1 ohm and only 1100 at 2 ohms I need the 1500-1600+ at 2 ohms..... Or is this amp very underrated ?

It's underrated. Not sure you'll get 1600 rms at 2 ohms tho. But 300 for a budget is very cheap. You'll prolly need to up that budget by $150-$200 to get a 3200 rms amp. Unless your subs are d2 subs. Then run them at .5

Yes my subs are d2.... But I'm not sure my electrical will handle .5 ohms?? Also what about a Soundstream Rub1.2500 does it do rated?

You'd be better off running the nendo at .5 do the big 3 and maybe a small extra battery if needed. Set gains accurately. Should be fine

I am currently using the alpine mrx110....... Rates for 1100 at 2 ohms at 14.4 so I know I'm not getting that I'm maybe getting 1000 maybe but I know realistically it's probably 900, guess the crescendo is out of the picture any other suggestions ? What's that vfl4880 do at 2 ohms and is it .5 stable?

I got another buddy with a soundqubed 2000 I think he wants $300 as well
