OP Gotcha. I can see your quandry lol. However.... Its 100x easier to tune 1 amp then 2. Does your noob friend know how to gain match 2 amps? Strap amps? For the money mentioned you can own a single big amp and just turn it down. If I wasnt going to comps I wouldnt blow my stuff up lol Its the pushing for every last ounce of power and hundreds of burps in testing that kills my stuff.
The Fosgates mentioned are good amps but are major current hungry. You can get away with 3 batts with the AB and have a monster stable amp for daily. The 5k is also a good choice too.
