your gonna pay extra for an amp that puts out 500rms at 4ohms, but you gotta make sure your amp is 1 ohm stable if your going that route. memphis is great but that amp isnt 1 ohm stable. id suggest the massive P500.1

hes on a budget, 500rms at 4ohms isnt cheap. if he doesnt want to run at 1ohm his best bet would be sell and get a dual 4 or single 2 and run an amp at 2ohm

Run the Memphis at 4 I meant. Not the other ones. I believe the Memphis' ratings to be moreconservative than the Hifonics or PG.

ummm 500watts at 4ohm is not alot of $$$ maybe for some people but if you look you will find many of them. So ur mojo operates at 1ohm factory?

If you want power, affordability, and clarity, go with Pheonix Gold Amps. Most people don't know about it but they are a sub company of kicker - they were bought 3 years ago. Way back when these were amazing speakers and amps, and now kicker has made them even better.

I have 1 powering my S7s, and 1 for my mids.... great sound and really loud..

Phoenix gold is dead as well. They are still making crap under the name of ryval but they got bought out years ago and took everything off shore and it went to crap. The last of the good stuff they made is the Ti series and they rocked but after that they went downhill fast. I still have my limited edition octane amp made of 2 zx600's, a bass cube under one cover that I can't part with....
