Budget amp recommendations

I posted a few days ago asking about certain amps I was gonna buy. I got to thinking about it more and I figured I would have better luck on choosing an amp if people just recommend a really good budget amp to me for $230 or less it needs to be a 1800wrms amp. It will be powering a PSI Platform 2 18" High Performance sub.

If you can recommend anything just please post below I'm trying to get as many recommendations before I actually go and purchase my amp. Of course when I get more money I will be getting a high quality amp.

1800 watts rms for $230 is going to be tough to find even for used

Unless you want to go with something like Hifonic Brz series

I have a mb quart q1500.1 if you are interested, $200 shipped

I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before

You could probably find a used aq2200 for maybe a little more than that. Say 300. I would save just a little bit more and try to find yourself a korean board rather than hifonics or audiopipe.

There is a guy on CACO selling the BRZ-2400 for $230 shipped. They do pretty close to rated (CEA compliant). I have been running a BRZ-2100 at .5 ohms with shoddy electrical for about 2 months now with no issues, so in my opinion it has held up pretty well lol.

A used aq2200 would be a better quality choice I imagine if you could get a deal. If you go with a "budget" company, check up on them and make sure they are CEA compliant. For example.. Maxxsonics makes both Crunch and Hifonics. The Crunch amp that was tested a couple of weeks ago did only a fraction of it's rated power. The Hifonics BRZ line is certified to put out rated power. I clamped ~900W at 2 ohm with voltage falling just below 12V (rated = 1200 @ 14.4). Others have clamped right around rated as well.
