Can someone suggest me an amp for these?

It's big, heavy, and $500.
Inukes are reliable and cheap.
I don't hate on non-D amps, but you have to agree they have gotten a lot better in the past years.

The QSC GX7 is 7kg whereas the iNuke 6000 is 5.5kg. Hardly a significant difference.

Also the fans on the iNukes are supposedly very loud.

I wouldn't be surprised if it can barely struggle to 600W RMS.

It puts out 1800 at 2ohms, so i'd figure around 7-800 at 4.

Yep, you're right on this one, they're pretty loud when the amp is at full power. But when the amp is at full power and connected to those dual 15's, you won't be able to hear the fans at all

I sold my old QSC RMX1450 last year for $200. It weighed 45 lbs. Screw that.

@ loverocket, that amp pushes 700 watts per channel at 4ohms, should be just enough. For $200 more The GX7 runs 1000 per channel and would be ideal.

The extra $$ you spend on a QSC makes a difference a few years down the road when that Beringher craps out. Buy quality or buy twice.

I know it's 700W @ 4 OHMs. You said "match the continuous power which is 500W.
