Hey Jarryd, try the eBay for used amps. One cheap in price that come to mind is MTX 6500D. It's rated 500W rms at 2ohms and 775W at 14.4v.
Last I checked it was going for $70. |

No Jarryd, if you send 400W to your subs, it'll blow. The subs can only handle 200W. The amp I mentioned will more than max your subs and have plenty of power left. Remember it is 500W at 2ohms.
One more thing, you can have 4 200W subs and it's still 200W max. |

Hey Jarryd I don't think you understood me. Your 200W subs are 200 apiece. You can hook them in parallel or series and it's still 200W. If you supply 400W to them, they will blow, trust me. |
