I need help chosing amp. Please

I have two 12" audiobahn flame excersion subs. They are 550 rms each 1100 combined I need an amp that is to be proven good quality yet under or around $200. IT doesn't have to max the subs out but I will be cranking them down to 1 channel at 2 ohms.

I can't afford an audiobahn amp. I bought the subs for $125 for the pair. I would like something in the 600-900 Rms range.

well, sounds like you're gonna need to probably buy used. you may be able to get one of the jbl amps for around that price, maybe a bit more. look into a class d amp. check ebay for mtx, jbl, maybe the lazar vibes, us acoustics. $200 is a little difficult to get a good amp for, but you should be able to find a used amp that will do.

i got lucky and found the amp i've been looking for (ample audio a210x) for only $20. now to sell off the old skool RF...

tough call for $200 to get that wattage..I would suggest trying the lanzar vibe series *(about your best bet for that $$) or maybe power acoustik if you have no other option

look at interfire amps. They are low cost and high power and good reliability units.

I think you mean Crossfire

Look into a JBL600.1. They put out about 700watts at 2ohms. There is also the JBL1200.1 but they cost a little more than $200.
