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.

A bit over your price at $2500, I recommend the Arion Audio S-500. 500 x 2 at 8 ohms, super clean and reliable.  I run mine full range.

I was able to make every door, window, wall, subfloor, pictures, and cats vibrate/shake with a sub test with my Crown 1502 bridged. Impressive.

Look at Apollon audio, I  have a 8 channel ice amp from them. Its great, no complaints.  Under 1k.  Excellent build and materials.

I have been using a Class D Audio SDS-470 class d amp for three years and been very happy.  My only complaint is that after listening for 6-10 hours continuously the amp will become very warm to the touch and start to distort/clip (depending on volume level). :)

Hear is a thread with a review of their entry level amp that you can read through. In the discussion that follows may point you towards some ideas to investigate and scramble your brain with more choices...
