I will be running (eventually) 2 x IDMAX 12" Subs Infinite baffle on my rear shelf, I would preferably like to have all phoenix gold gear but cant really find (i.e Im not as au fait as you guys with PG stuff) Something that will do 500-800w RMS x 2 for the Max's - Would prefer it to be older skool of course, so no Ti amps or anything
Any suggestions?

What impedance are you going to wire the subs into?
How about a ZPA 0.5? MS2250?

I can get dual 2's or dual 4's so pretty much any resistance!

you already have m44's...so maybe a m100 @ 2ohms with cooling fans?

I'll be getting an M100 off Marko for my Ti9 elites, I wouldnt have thought an M100 would have been powerfull enough to run 2 idmax's? - ZPA0.5 is favourate at the minute!

i would bet its running about 600watts @ 2ohms.... i just suggested it as it matched your other amps. you COULD go with a m100 EACH if you have some room to spare and extra $$$ burning a hole in your pocket
although a zpa0.5 would best a single one for sure.

I have a single M100 running two RSD12D2 in 2ohm stereo and it gets plenty loud... but it sounds like you're really going for more than what a single M100 can provide.
