I have gotten over 30 emails in the past month from DIY sub builders asking me WHERE THEY CAN FIND pro style power amplifiers at good prices. I just wanted to post that a local company I work with has purchased 5 Peavey amps at auction and is selling them cheap (all under $325, up to 2000 watts).
Don't get me wrong, the Peavey amp is not an AMAZING amp, but it will certainly work for subs and should hold up. See Gregg Loewen's posts about his Peavey CS800 (the company selling the amps has one of these as well).
Also, there are a few brand new in box amplifiers coming available over the coming weeks. Specifically, rock bottom prices on the QSC RMX series (which I was quite impressed by!) and the Yorkville AP amplifier (which many in the proaudio world are comparing to the Crest amp, at less than 1/3 the cost).
Anyway, so those Peavey amps are available - and the QSC & Yorkville. By the way: the QSC amps are as low as $.25 a watt, and the Yorkville at less than $.28 a watt - up to 4000 watts!

I will put anyone interested in touch with the various companies who have these amps. I am making no money on the sales, these are not group purchases, I just know some guys who have some amps available at real world prices and figured I could help the dozens of people emailing me every week trying to find affordable amplifiers!
Anyone with questions about QSC RMX, Yorkville or Peavey amps can post them here. I'll do my best to tell what I know!
