Default Need AMP Suggestions

hey everyone, right now I have a Rockford Fosgate Punch 360.2 amo running bridged, 360 watts RMS, to my Polk MOMO 12" sub. the sub is a single voice coil 500 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. i am in the market for a new amp and i would appreciate any oppinions and suggestions on what amp to get and where to get it from. the new amp should deliver 500-600 watts RMS.

thanks,
Raj

that's a pretty decent, and underrated amp - I really don't think that you will gain much by "upgrading" Especially in that budget range.

Why not take that $300 and spend it elsewhere to get a better overall system.

yeah i dont think youll notice too much of a difference by changing amps. if you wanted to you could always go with a jbl bp600.1. pretty cheap and underrated (so youll have to watch the gains)

what about the RF Punch 500s? that is 500 watts @ 4 ohms bridged. isnt that gonna make my sub sound a lot more powerful and stuff? what do you guys think? is there really a difference between the Punch and Power series by RF? if so what? like dont both Punch 500s and Power 500s both deliver 500 watts rms?? wats the difference. thanks. more amp oppinions are wanted.
