Amp Recommendation
Scrapped the idea of shallow subs - was taking wayyyyy too long for the BMs, especially with this recent "cone redesign" thing. So I've got a pair of DD 1508s on the way instead. Gonna put them in about 1.9 cubes, tuned somewhere near 35 or 40 Hz. Not real sure about that right now.
Need a good, clean amp putting out around 1-2k at 1 ohm. Stock electrical, but the PSDs have some serious alts and dual batts so hopefully I'll be alright for now.
New or used is fine, and obviously price is an issue. Id like to not spend more than 300, 200 ideally.

Check ebay for the USamps xt2000d or xt4000d. One is 1000 @1ohm and the other is 1500@1ohm. Both can be had between 200-300 bucks brand new on ebay.
Also, if you dont mind getting used, check out the classifieds on DIYMA there are always used high quality amps in good condition going for excellent prices. There was a Sundown SAE1000D going for 240 shipped just the other day.

I can get a RD 1000.1 for about 200 plus shipping. Same board as the SAE1000D if what I hear is correct. Is RD quality stuff? I know the 1000.1 MSRP is like 600.
Edit: The RD is obviously used. And I have ZERO problems with used. Just gotta be small enough to fit under the bench seat of a single cab 350.

Yeah I was just looking over at ca.com at a comparison of the NINE.1 to the AQ1200. The AQ is about 50 cheaper straight from the manufacturer as well, much more efficient, and a bit smaller. But the rated voltage is 14 rather than 12 like the ED...so Im a bit lost here. Which of those 2 would you personally recommend? Or can I not go wrong with any of these choices?
