If you look at mono-1channel amps, you are going to have to spend a good bit of money for that power at 4ohm... but the upside would that you have more power at 2 and/or 1ohm.

If you dont want to spend much, look for a 2-channel amp and bridge it at 4ohm. Eventually if you ever upgrade again.... this amp could go towards the front-stage and you get a bigger sub amp.

Check out the Good/Bad list in the FAQ, Guides, & Info section for what brands to look at.

And also keep an eye out in the for sale section for any good deals that come up.

Kicker, Orion, MTX, PG, Exile, Eclipse, plus a bunch more would be fine.
I usually check out woofersetc.com because they have a large stock. You can check out a lot of different companies offerings and see what fits your needs. Then check out eBay/other net stores for lower prices.
