Default Friends New Subs... Looking for a BIG amp for cheap (ish)

Well my buddy (BlackBetty) and I went and picked up his new subs today... 2 12" Pioneer Premier Champion Pro'* in about a 4.25 cu ft ported box tuned to 40hz...

We r doing his audio install now on his 2010 Impala, had problems putting his HU in... all went smoothly, HU tunred on, had sound but would not shut off, so i used a DMM to find the switched wire, found it but still having issues.

back on topic... each sub is 1000w rms, 3000w max. dual 4 ohm. the guy he bought em from was giving em 2200w rms by a AudioQue 2200.

Now he is in the market for a reasably prices (about $400 or less) big, 1 ohm stable amp. Maybe something along the lines of a MA Audio HK4000D, or HK802sx...
was looking at the Hifonics amps but i dont like em much... ive had em and so has about everyone else and they just dont last, especially at 1 ohm.

Any ideas for a reliable, 1 ohm stable, 2000w rms or higher at 1 ohm (or even better at 4 ohm) cool running amp?

MonteLS? any ideas?

I like the "all went smoothly....had problems" line, classic! That line made me lose my train of thought

Thanks for helping me pick out the ma-hk2000d (raptor660) I think it will be a great amp to push those subs!
