Hi,
I will (shortly) receive a new sub : an SSA Icon 15. I don't yet if I put it in a sealed or a ported enclosure, but I need an amp that can give 1000 watts rms at 4ohms.
I am on a budget, so what choices do I have ?
The JL 1000/1 would be a very good one, but it is so expensive.
I will buy online, because I don't have so much choice in my country.
I can go with used amp, but sellers may be afraid of the shipping rates.
Waiting for your advices.
Thanks

I'll bet you find find a PG Xenon 600.1 for cheap. Mine benched at 850 watts @ 4 ohms. Not 1000 watts, but close. I just like recommending this amp because mine has been solid. The internals look like they are built to last, it'll make rated power from 1-4 ohms, mine has never even gotten past slightly warm, and they can be found pretty cheap.

MBQ QAA1000 will do that in 4 or 2 ohms.

I'm with you 100% on the Xenon recommendation. Close enough to 1k and can be had for quite a reasonable price. They kick some ass @ 4 ohms and do it quite efficiently. Ugly with too much bling for my tastes (although I have a 1200.1 I'm using right now) but very reliable, even in tight spaces.

If you can find one in good condition an Arc 2500XXK is a great amp. 1050-1150 is typical wattage from them at 4 owns.

If you are not opposed to Class AB power, the Rockford Fosgate 25 to Life Punch 150 will give you some decent power @ 4 ohms bridged. Mine birthed at just over 1,000 watts RMS @ 2 ohms stereo which would translate to 4 ohms bridged:
