Im gettin to kicker shallow mount 10" subs. I want to run about 500W to each one of the subs, yes i know there rms is 400W but i think it can handle more. What would be a good amp to power these subs at a reasonable price, nothing over 400$
 
while the subs are nice, you DEF. shouldn't overpower them. They're SHALLOW subs, hence, SHALLOW enclosure. I think you be pushing them too hard. I also think if Kicker wanted you to give them that power, they'd have recommended it. Why not go with the 12"s, which could take the additional power, thus making it easier to find an amp that matches power/ohm impedance's better.
 
well you need to tell us the impedance of the subs, (dual 2 ohm, dual 4 ohm, single 4 ohm, etc). But without knowing the impedance i can give one suggestion. the JL 1000/1 is 1000 RMS at like 1.5-4 ohms so if the subs could wire to one of those which im almost posotive it could then that would be a good amp. let us know what impedance the subs are and youll get more suggestions.
 
why not kicker as well? matching kicker speakers and a kicker amp should work very well. overpowering the speakers may cause severe distortion so dont push them too bad. sony explode should do well too for the amp
