Need suggestions for a new amp..

Yeah so i'm in the market for a new amp.

I'm currently running:

Nakamichi SP-W1200D
Description: SUBWOOFER SPECIFICATIONS Diameter: 12" 305mm Sensitivity: 88dB Power Handling: Watts RMS: 450 Watts Watts Peak: 650 Watts Frequency Response: 20Hz-500Hz Nominal Impedance: 2 x 6 Ohms Cone Material: Pulped Paper Basket Material: Aluminum Surround Material: 2.25" Rubber Spider Material: Nomex Magnet Weight: 120oz. Voice Coil: Dual Free-Air Resonance (Fs): 28.15Hz Mechanical Dampening (Qms): 6.297 Electrical Dampening (Qes): .742 Total System Dampening (Qts): .663 Voice Coil DC Resistance (Re): 5.6 Ohms (Dual) Equivalent Acoustic Volume (Vas): 74.504 Liters Effective Diaphragm Area (Sd): 49.087 sq. meter Linear Coil Excursion (Xmax): 12.5mm Half Space Output Level (SPL): 88dB Energy Bandwidth Product (EBP): 43 Mass of the Moving System (Mms): 114.656 grams


Ultimate Audio TA2300 (2x150 Watts)

My sub is wired like so..

which meens im running at 3 ohms, correct? So by using the Ultimate amp I am not able to achieve maximum power only being at 3 ohms.

I see most ratings on amps are in 4 and 2 ohm configurations.. Any amps that I could get that would let me push 400 rms @ 4 or 3 ohms?

Its been years since I messed with any of this technical stuff so correct my where I'm wrong please..

Let's here your ideas..

luvvegas777 is an unknown quantity at this point
when you bridge an amp it will see half of the impedence, which will be 1.5 ohms, however impedence always changes as a speaker moves. there are so many amps on the market, how much $ are you willing to spend.

If possible I'd like to stay in the $200-$300 range.
