Aside from the usual Kicker KX2500.1 , Orion 2500d, etc you could try MMats amplfiers which are supposed to be pretty good quality from what I hear (built in Florida USA) but they are pretty pricey. http://cgi.ebay.com/MMATS-D2000-1_W0QQitemZ5795833748QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Here is a list of the good and the highly reccomended (I took out some of the less popular brands) For the full list go here http://p079.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=48.topic GOOD Alpine (amplifiers, Type-R speakers and subs) Audio Development Boston Acoustics Cadence (current amplifier products) Crossfire Earthquake Eaton Helix Infinity JBL (amplifiers) Kicker (amplifiers & Comp/CompVR subwoofers) Memphis Audio MTX (amplifiers) Polk Audio Rockford Fosgate (some models) USAcoustics HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Adire Arc Audio Audax Butler Audio DynAudio Eclipse (Fujitsu Ten) Esoteric Audio Infinity Kappa/Kappa Perfect components JL Audio (slash series amps) MB Quart McIntosh Laboratories OZ Audio Precision Power (PPI) (Art series amps, old) Resonant Engineering (RE) Stinger US Amps Xtant Zapco |
