Two RF Punch 8 inch RFD2208 HX2 subs.

Dual 4 ohm coils 400RMS each.

I know a JBL 600.1 would, but what other options are there? Mid to cheap side.

buy a JL 500somthimg it will deffinetly give you what you are looking for for about 400 depending on where you look and buy it but that is what i have on 2 15s and it beets the piss out of them and the 15s are 1600 watts so as you can see it should work very good

Not bad, 400w for $78 ... but not as good as a JBL either. Buy local if you can, warranty service over the internet is a joke.

None of them but... Since you were looking for a budget-sensitive choice, whatever you can afford.

Ultra Linear isn't at all a terrible amp, I'd use one over an Audiobahn any day. The big thing you have to watch out for in a lesser quality amp is installation sensitivity. You almost can't break a high-end Alpine, hook the power and ground up backwards..it knows better. The lesser amps don't have such protection circuits, one goof and it's toast.

I'd really suggest a used high-quality amp over a new lower-quality amp. Ebay is full of them, research repair prices (most are flat-rate) before you buy and assume the worst. Figure a couple of weeks turnaround on the repair and enjoy your internally new, high-quality amp.
