You could look into Audiopipe, Powerbass, Planet Audio etc. Kicker refurbs are for sale on eBay for a decent price.

Also the classifieds section here would be a good start.

You'd better look for a 1000 watts amp that is 1 Ohm stable.

You will want to upgrade later, for sure :) :).

500 watts at 2 Ohms for now, and 1000 at 1 ohm for the future.

Think about it !

You better watch what you play on that and listen very close to the sub for bottoming out.

That amps SSF is set at 15hz and playing below your box tuning will smoke that sub in short order.
