Hello,
The budget is below $900
Which Power Amplifier should i get for Pro 18inch Subwoofer use?
Here are some that i was intersted:
Behringer NU12000DSP
Behringer NU6000DSP
FP14000q clone china
FP10000q clone china
Crown ?
Can those amplifier really deliver that much power?

Class D amplifiers will give good bass response so choose an amplifier that has a power limiter on it and set it to the power of your load.
An amplifier is limited to the power supply and how much power is available.
Crown is the best, Behringer is not bad, Chinese clones? No idea. You get what you pay for.

The Chinese clones are supposed to be very good, but with no warranty or support if they go wrong, I'd be concerned.
The iNukes are decent and do the job. Some have DSP. Not as clean as a good class AB, but for the price, weight and power output, I can't complain. I'm not sure what's up with the NU12000 amps - there have been reports of serious under-performance, but I'm not sure if that was fixed with firmware.
Which driver is in your 18" sub? What impedance? I've known them range from 300w to ~2kw continuous. Getting 2KW (preferably more like 4KW for peaks) into an 8ohm driver is certainly nontrivial - the voltage swings required are getting towards fatal voltages if you touch them, so, if you have a choice, use 4ohm drivers when you want to really put some power down.
