So, I had the Kenwood performance series 1800 amp. Almost 5 years and it finally went. So, I am in the market for a new amp. I was looking at the ct sounds at1400.1D. Seen Steve Meade bench test it. It seems impressive. But, keep getting told to don't waste my money. That it's not quality. So, I'm back to looking. I have a budget of $400. I'm not looking at skar or soundstream tarantula amps. Would like 1000+rms at 2 ohms. What would be recommended by you guys? I always stuck with what has worked. Which I always had kicker and Rockford fosgate. Soundstream tarantula amps have caught my eye more then skar. But, told this is the place to get a lot of knowledge on amps. I like to research before I make a purchase like this. If you need to know, I drive a 07 escape. Factory alt which I just replaced. Rockford Fosgate 0 gauge used for the big three. Optima yellow top under hood. A size bigger then called for. Rockford fosgate 4 gauge ran back. Kenwood ddx-470 ddin. 2 Kicker dcvr 12" subs in a ported 32hz tuned box. 2010 model if that matters. Still meter two ohms. After I get an amp, the subs I am upgrading. Any help be nice. Thanks.
