Sub Amps - 4000-4500w @ 4ohms per channel.
Matt Vivlamore:
What are some good amps to drive subs? I'm looking for 4000-4500w @ 4ohms per channel.
Years ago I was bridging an XTi4000 into a SRX728, it was alright and then switched to an IT8000 and it was a night and day difference; holy cow did the SRX728s move some air. Well then I took a few years off (and sold everything) and when I got back into it, I picked up the SRX828SP (FAIL!). Now I picked up some Custom built dual 18s with B&C drivers and looking for a beefy sounding amp. Right now, I have a Clair iO with Gruppen FP9000 to hold me over until I can get a bigger amp.

The Crown iTech HD amps are solid performers. Prices are currently through the roof though on them. About double what they were just a couple years ago on the used market.

The Studiomaster QX2-xxxx amps output big power, and are inexpensive.
Linea amps work great on subs, the new Danley D series amps should be great on subs as well. The new Powersoft line is worth a good look, but they are new and I don't know how many have bench tested them yet. Used Powersoft K20 or X4L.
Regardless of brand, I'd run them on 208V (240V) power, otherwise you won't get max output.

Used K10/K20 or FP14000 should do it.
I got K20 on some DIY 2x18", they're pretty impressive with that amp.
Also serviced a couple of KF730 installations with FP14000 for lows with good results.

Dynacord IPX20:4 or TGX20. They are my go to for all high end stadium and arena projects.
