Class-D recommendation

Looking for a class-D recommendation for the base portion of a multi-amp system w/ active xover.  The amp will be powering a pair of 15" 4Ohm woofers from 30 - 600Hz.  Need at least 400W, very high damping, and clean into the midrange.  Everything above 600Hz is taken care of by a class-A amp.  I would prefer to spend <$2k used.

I have a Legacy Audio PowerBloc2 available that would work nicely. 650w into 4 ohms and 1000 damping factor.

I just bought one of these for a 15" sealed box sub I am building to go with my Vandersteens (to complete my bass swarm with the two Velodyne subs I have already)

1,100 watts x 1 (4 ohms)

ClassDAudio.com several options. Solid bass control. Overbuilt is an understatement. Yes, I know. Small operation, etc. Not going to argue with anyone. Have two. Pleased. Buy them new and you will be well within your budget. Great support.

Currently I’m checking out a Class D amp. I have been reading some pretty impressive reviews on the Merrill Veritas Monoblocks.

I am using two Crown XLS 2502 as bridged to drive two Scaena 18 inch subwoofers.

You can use just one amp that will be good for most purpose.
