what's a good amp to push one sa-12 dual 4 ohm?

i just installed my new one yesterday and built my box and it defniitely needs more power. i'm running it off a hifonics bxi1210d which says it runs 900 rms at 2 ohms but that is not true. what would be a good but not very expensive amp to run on it? i was looking at the kicker zx750 but that seems a little too expensive

idk how much power you need but this will leave a bit of head room if you change subs in the future

do audiopipes do rated power though? i've heard mixed things about them some people say theyre bad others say they're pretty good

I would definitely check out a Mmats amp! A Mmats 1000.2 would give you the 2 ohm output and this thing is waaaay underrated! I ran a 600.1d in a new Tahoe the other day and it beat the hell out of 2 12" JL 12w3v3. These amps are great and I wouldn't run anything else!
