What do you mean by a high drive amp? If you are talking about like a 1x4 or something from FatBoy davemade or xforce they call them high drive but all they do is pad the piss out of the input. Do yourself a favor and do your research and ask questions.
What radio do you run and what does it put out? If you run one of these big imports you might be able to run a straight four. Looking at the data sheet for a 2879 40 watts average would drive a straight 4 nicely. I run a Galaxy 55 into a straight four. Works great.
Now I also have a 1x4 but I run that with a cobra 29. 13 watts average and a 1 watt key. I would never even consider driving it with my 55.
bought a kicker and have some ?'s

I would also search out on the used book market Motorola's RF design book, it is pretty packed with designs and a lot of examples. The last one I got had MOSFET info in it. Most of the amps being made and sold are from two people at Motorola and there are a few application notes on them that are floating around.
There are a bunch of college texts on eBay that have a lot of info on amp design.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to buy them and experiment with them.
By the way to those who are buying these POS amps. they are poor quality. I can look at that picture and see that some monkey assembled it. The wiring and components are cheap, surprised it even works. -
