[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 7507197, member: 634282"] I recommend getting what your budget allows.So many HU these days that you will just have to choose what best suites your needs and what functions desired.Yet,400 watts is pretty decent power for a subwoofer,and if the box is built properly for that sub,to get the most out of it??A 100watt old school amp can be a suffecient amount of supply for a 600rms subwoofer,for example: a 100 watt HifonicsCyclops mono amplifier ran at 2ohms for say like an RE sx 10in 600rms dvc 4ohm sub with approx a 1.4-1.6cuft ported/tuned box will sound very nice for the power that you are requiring about..Some even look into the Bazooka Bass Tubes due to the light weight,already tuned/ported,and easy to install,ready to power up,and use,and saving some space/time compared to box.I recommend looking to good old school amps/used for money saving options,without lacking performance for the bang for your buck.4ga wiring IMO is the minimum wiring/supply id use for amps..Its safe due to upgrading needs/wants.Keep in mind..bigger isnt always better..Its how it is installed and with the components used utilizing the space provided as well.I have a 150 watt old school amp,and a new 1800 watt amp,and the 150 seems to out perform(200$)10x12x1.9, my 1800watt amp 24x18x2.5/or rt at,but richer/deeper sound(900$)amp???Go figure??
