just get a 300-400 watt single channel amp from a trusted company such as JL audio, pioneer, boston acoustics, alpine, clarion or kenwood.

The sub isn't the best out there but with some power, I am sure it will do what it's meant to do. Since it handles 250 Watts RMS and 500 Watts RMS max, I would suggest a 250-300 watt amp maybe the same brand name to keep it looking decent.

An amp like this would work:

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_236JH30...3&tp=115&avf=N - Will do 200 Watts RMS at 4 ohms

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_236JH60...3&tp=115&avf=N - Will do 350 Watts RMS at 4 ohms

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_2068ZX4...3&tp=115&avf=N - Will do 200 watts @ 4 ohms

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575P500...3&tp=115&avf=N - 200 watts @ 4 ohms


Cheaper ones:

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_023THA1...3&tp=115&avf=N - 250 watts @ 4 ohm

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KAC8...3&tp=115&avf=N - 300 watts @ 4ohm

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107C500...3&tp=115&avf=N - 350 watts @ 4 ohm

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_489HA70...3&tp=115&avf=N - 200 watts @ 4 ohm

- http://www.crutchfield.com/p_489AP70...3&tp=115&avf=N - 220 watts @ 4 ohms

All of those will work. Just depends on your budget

Enjoy

yeah thats gonna be hard to fit in the trunk and more if you have 6x9 in the back well a mono amp of 500w or 2 channel of 300w each channel would work just fine

I don’t know if cc still have the 35% off from closing sale and if you brother could get in top of the 35% his employee discount it would be great and cheap
