Best AMP.... Help!

Alright, I just got my 2 image dynamic IDQ12's in today, and would like to know what you guys think of the Audiobahn A8000V amp which I'm thinking about getting with my income tax. Also what other amps would you reccomend for these subs.

Best amp and Audiobahn should not be used in the same sentence...unless its a sentence like this.

All depends on your budget.
Are the IDQ's dual 4 ohm.

Budget

Assuming your budget is around the price of the Audiobahn amplifier or $150-$200 it will be hard to find a good amplifier for those subs. After researching the price of those subs youpaid quite a bit for them, why not get a good amp for them as well. You get what you pay for in this world. The subs are
350RMS/700PEAK.
Here are some in my opinion run in 2ohm:

KICKER KX450.2 (2 Ch)
P3001 Rockford Fosgate (Mono Amp)
Rockford Fosgate P6001bD (Mono Amp)
KICKER KX600.1 (Mono Amp)

Just some amps to look at if your amplifier budget is around $150-$200

My budget is between 2-4 hundred bucks. So what should I get in that range?
Also I'd like to get a fan cooled amp. ( the main reason for looking at audiobahn)

RF Amplifier

The RF amp is alright, but Rockford isn't what they used to be IMO. They do make a good amplifier from what I hear though. I wouldn't pay that price for it either. you can get the same amp on e-bay for like $350 shipped.(Just to help ya out some)
