amp recomendations, 600-1000 watts @ 2 ohms
any suggestions? i can get a sick sick deal on a kenwood kac-9152d, but the thing i don't like about it is that the ssf isn't fully adjustable. the highest it will go is 25 hz 
(i'm planning to go ported again with the new setup)
budget wise, no more than $400. any ideas? i've been eyeing the eD NINe.1 as well...

Well worth the money

Simply based on the ****/scams Ive read about Ben Milne, the owner of eD, I will probably never buy an eD product. Register at SI.com and find the Ben Milne Love Parade thread for info.
I was gonna say a D61000.1 but then I remembered theyre 1 ohm stable too. Not sure on amps that are 2 ohm stable, but Im sure you can find something nice in that price range.

i frequent si.com every now and then, but mainly lurk in the adire and ascendant forums, but yeah, i gotta check that thread out, seems interesting why wouldn't the amps be 2 ohm stable if it's stable at 1? it's using less power...

dont have a long time to post but gordon you KNOW better than to mention ED in this thread... gl on the amp search and get a kx600.1 from don. 
at least 720 watts @2 ohms and a 25hz SSF which is perfect.
p.s. NY is amazing.

yeah, the kicker kx1200.1 goes for like $800 in most places i've looked. rich's been telling me the kx600.1 for awhile now, i'll go have a look-see later on. thanks for the suggestions fellas, keep them coming.
reason i ask for 2 ohms, is because the sound splinter rl-p's are dvc 4. lowest i can wire it is 2 ohms. i'm going with a single driver.

Some people dont mind it, some do. But its def something to consider, thats all.

Its also a $400 dollar difference. With that $400 you can either buy a new amp or if the one you have is broken it can most likely be fixed for under $100. Its definately something to consider and not for everyone but Kicker amps are built pretty solid, I'd take a chance on it.

uhh, doubt he gets on as often as he did before he left to NY 
best bet is to call him up.
Don, i'm looking at the website for that Arc amp and it says 'reverse voltage' in the list of protections. what does that mean?
