Help picking amp One of my friends got a smokin deal for 2 brand new L7s for his F250 and knows nothing about picking an amp. I dont know how to either really, just install everything.

Honestly, Solobaric subs blow in my opinion. They just don't have a nice sound to them. Keeping that in mind, whats his price range on an amp? I wouldn't go with something like a Kicker amp. As far as audio stuff goes, Kicker is the Kia of the audio world, and for the price, you can find something much nicer. Older RF amps are amazing. I had a little 2003 Rockford Power 550S that was only 550 watts and was only 4 ohm stable pushing 4 Memphis 12s at 1 ohm without breaking a sweat! That setup hit 146db in my buddys truck on the Termlab. Thats just RIDICULOUS given the rated power of that amp.
I just picked up some new product from Audiopipe. I don't like their speakers or some of their subs much but the amps I have to say have been impressive. Especially for the price. I will be updating the site with these and more new product lines for 2011. The amp I am refering to specifically was the APSM1300. It is a tiny little amp with a footprint of 267x154x49mm or 10.5" x 6" x 2" and is 1 ohm stable.
Specs are:
• 1 Channel • 300W RMS@4 Ohm (<1% Distortion)
• 600W RMS@2 Ohm (<1% Distortion)
• 1000W RMS@1 Ohm (<1% Distortion)
• Frequency Response: 8Hz - 180Hz
• S/N Ratio: >70dB • THD: <0.15%
• Input Sensitivity Level: 0.2V - 5V
• LPF: 40Hz - 180Hz
Pic of the inside so you can see the guts:

I was VERY surprised at the power as it is extremely close to the advertised ratings. Especially for something that small. It does come with a remote bass control as well. All for $139.99 shipped to the lower 48 states.
