  1. any amp with about 1500watts RMS @ 1 or 4ohms and is CEA-compliant (which means that it has been tested and produces or exceeds the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion)

    here are the top CEA-compliant brands (any amp from any of these companies with the correct RMS wattage @ the correct impedance {ohms} will be good)

    Alpine  

    Bazooka  

    Blaupunkt  

    Clarion  

    Eclipse  

    Infinity  

    JBL

    JL Audio  

    Kenwood

    Kicker  

    MTX  

    Pioneer

    Polk Audio

    Rockford Fosgate  

    Sony


  2. inktownlegend answered the question pretty well.

    However, something you may not be aware of that is important to know. most stock electrical systems fall apart at about 1000 watts. requiring several hundred in upgrades to handle more power. also keep in mind that doubling power gains you 3db. and the human ear can only detect as little as 1 db. to make a system "twice as loud" requires a 10db difference. so with that information, i would highly recommend a efficient (class d) 1000 watt amp. see going to 1500 watts will overwhelm your stock alternator, and will only gain you 1.5 db hardly noticeable, so is it worth spending a extra 300-400 for the extra 500 watts, and 1.5 db... personally i hardly think so. i have 800 watts total in my jeep and i can hear and feel everything at 65 miles an hour with the top off... and my system is not built for volume, its built for SQ.  

    Hope that helps you make a educated decision.
