Well you just listed some of the best brands of amps out there, so anything you get from one of those companies will be great.

agree... but some of those are very HARD to find and you can get something similar and cheaper.

What are you trying to push, post a budget too

currently i only have two 12in. sonys in a plywood box and two 12in. legacys in a full-plexi bandpass box but i'm lookin to getting rid of all those subs but keep the plexi box and my plywood box and i need a decent amp to push all tht but isn't going to cost a truck load of money..i make anywhere from 100-300 bucks a week and going to sell those subs and my old amps to afford new subs and a new amp

Woah there. Do you realize the box matters 10x more than the amp and sub?

Box has to be custom built for the sub or it's gonna sound like azz. Especially bandpass (the plexi ones) those are the worst. Also MDF, no plywood.

You said you had not a lot of money...... those are not low budget amps.


And bandpass boxes almost never sound good (with very few exceptions). Even when built for the sub they usually don't exceed a ported or sealed.
