Amp recommendation 2xSA8 V1.5

[BLK MAJK]

Looking for some amp suggestions for my new setup. I think I have a short list of amps, so I'm just trying to make the best decision. I recently got a pair of Sundown SA-8 V1.5 subs. These are the 400w RMS models. Dual 2 ohm VC. I plan on wiring them to a 2 ohm load. I'm thinking I want/need an amp that does 1000 RMS @ 2. Car is wired with Knuconceptz OFC 4 gauge. Amp is getting signal from a LOC (want to keep my factory nav) wired into factory sub (its unhooked). Car is a 2012 Kia Optima with the factory Infinity stereo. I will be building either a shared box, or 2 boxes (1 in each wheel well "bumpout" in the trunk). Either setup will be ported. Just looking for a daily driver setup. Budget is $200 so I'm looking at used. So far my list has the following.

Alpine MRP-M1000

Hifonix BRZ1200

Boston Acoustics GTA-1000M

MB Quart ONX1.1500D

Kicker DX1000.1

JL AUDIO JX1000/1D

Soundstream Rubicon 1600

Any other suggestions? I know I have seen the Audioque 1200D mentioned as well but I'm not seeing any of those around used. Thanks for any help!

Great choices. I'd do the Alpine.

Hey brotha, what LOC are you using? Also what are you going to use to tap into for the RCA and remote?
