Question 1 or 1/2 ohm stable amp?

I am looking for a mono channel sub amp that is capable of being 1 ohm or at most .5 ohm stable. Does anyone know of n amp that is capable of this? I am wanting about 500 watts RMS and a peak of no more than 1000. Thanks.

I have a Kicker Dx 700 that I'm using now until my pheonix gets done and I'm not that impressed with it. My zx500 puts out alot more power. Try a pheonix gold ZPA 0.3. These are pheonix's big bad A$$es. I've used alot of amps in my day and I love pheonix gold. If you looking for a strickly mono amp then also try a earthquake digital amp. There about 700 bucks but they can do some sick power. Thy'll do like 2000 watts if you want it to. There smaller then the dx's too. The big kicker dx 1400 will put out 1400 watts at 1 ohm but its more expesive then the pheonix and earthquake. Go with the pheonix, you will love it. The digital mono technology is new so there's not to many companys out there with it yet. Xtant makes one too but I don't think It did that much power. You won't find a pheonix gold ZPA on there site but ask a dealer, they might still have one. They are the *****.

RTKilla, I got your back on this one. PhoenixGold is on top of it's game. I have also been through a few amps and they are by far the cleanest. They are also more effiecnt than most other amps. IMO they are better than anything. Rockford, Kicker, Orion, Memphis, Alpine, those are just the ones that I've owned. I'm not sayin that these amps arnt any good, they make good paperweights.--JUST KIDDING-- All of these amps have there VERY good points, but the PhoenixGold has ALL of the good points.
