spending less than 250 wont get you very much on those subs. youll want a good 300-400 per sub, so at least a 600 watt amp. for that price range youre basically only looking at the jbl 600.1

The problem wth trying to find an amp with a price limit is the fact that it severely limits your choices in most cases. I wouldn't personally buy a kenwood for the same reason that mattymatt gave, but then again, sucks is a very open ended word. Sucks how, what makes it suck, what reasons are there for it sucking. Most amps for that price range would definitely "suck" by the definition of "suck", ESPECIALLY if compared to an amp that would cost twice that price. But even then, there are some pretty "sucky" amps out there that are overpriced.

dbcivickid, i'd say get whatever you want at whatever you can afford, don't listen to anybody who says your choice sucks, i have stuff in my car which people would say "sucks" but hey, i like it, and that's all that matters.

If I were you I would just wait till you have more money and get a decent amp. I've bought alot of kenwood products because I was on a budget and I wasn't very happy. I always wished that I just waited and saved more.
