I need some help finding a decent amp

Right now, I got a set of 12" Rockford Fosgate subs that take 400w RMS each. The amp that's runnin' 'em is only 250w. I need an amp that can put out 400w to each sub or maybe a little less. So I need you audio guru's to help me find a site that's got some decent amps at good prices.

the difference in volume between a 250 watt amp and a 400 watt amp is very small ..... 10*log(400/250)= 2dB

my buddy just got the Fosgate 1000bd. it pushes 500Watts a channel at 2 ohms. if you have 4 ohm speakers, run them in parallel and youll be fine. the amp sounds great, he got it online for like 330$ on ebay. dont worry about overpowering them. a little extra power wont hurt them. i run 600 watts to each of my alpine type Rs. they RMS at 300. sounds awesome.
