Ended up just buying a Alpine M500 for $130 and calling it a day. Should handle the sub just fine, unless you guys think differently. This way I'll be able to breath not having to worry about anything being under-utilized or over-powered. Appreciate all of the massive help here.

Great. I'll get the M500. Thanks all!

Will do, thanks! been very helpful so far! By the way I called best buy locally and they didn't have it.. perhaps you mean a local BB by you. Oh well, it's a solid amp for the price either way.

Thanks for being civil. After discussing with the two shops again, thanks to you guys, they didn't realize the Ohm situation with the sub. So, I'll just grab a mono amp. Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks! Since the brz 1200 only has 100 more RMS and it may not last as long/not rated correctly I'll go with the m500.

I'd like to stay as close to $100 as possible, need to buy new and with a warranty. Listen mainly to edm (deep house, house, trance), think of those two edm Sirius channels. Sub is JL Audio sealed w3v3 (CS110RG-W3v3 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Systems - PowerWedge) Choices I'm willing to buy so...

Gotcha gotcha, looks like I'll have to get a mono amp then..

Thanks, appreciate the suggestion but I'm set on getting it professionally installed with the exact parts I have now.

Ha yeah me too, good stuff on that. Thing is, I can spend the money, but it's the principle of me just trying to use what I have. I know there's better ways to do it, there always is, but I just want to keep things simple even if I end up not using "all of the channels" Considering I'm...

Yes. I've went to both shops, and they've looked in my car, looked up the specs for both the amp, sub, and also the exact specifications of my stock (factory upgraded) audio system. It was an in depth quote I would say.

Everything is stock as of now, including the head unit (which I'd like to keep stock). Just want to keep things simple.

Yeah yeah I know it's atypical but I'm fine with the stock audio (which is the "upgraded" version), just want a little more bass, maybe a bit more loudness. I listen to EDM (deep house, house, trance + the two main Sirius edm channels) This will be my first 'system' in any car I've driven, or...

Thanks for the replies.. I have a Sub sealed and ready to go, and an amp with more than enough power to run it, I'd really just want to use what I already have Wanted to see if i's worth spending extra to wire up the front two (which it sounds like there may be better sound based on you guys)...

Installing a sub and 4 channel amp to power that sub in my Hyundai Veloster with upgraded Dimension audio. I'll have a channel or two not used since the amp has enough power to cover the sub with 2-3 channels. Is it worth it to use the rest of the channel(s) from the amp to run to the front...

wouldn't I need a 1ohm amp since I'm only having one sub and its d2? The apline is 1000w sure, but at 2ohms? Also, should I have gotten the D4 since I'm VERY concerned with sq?
