[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8783976, member: 682903"] To me, it looks to be a typical budget sub, so 100w should make it move fine, however, the OP could take it out of the box for magnet size, etc. I agree it is a low power amp and it isn’t going to be crazy loud, but it should do somewhere around the 100w RMS range bridged, and will move the sub reasonable well / shake the review mirror. If you have to put your ear next to the sub to hear anything, something is wrong somewhere. I've never heard of that sub, couldn't find much from a quick search, so a rough guess, it takes 150-400w RMS or so, give or take a little, and if all working, that amp would be fine to power it. Again, pics of the magnet, voice coil size, etc., may help with that. Another question to the OP; does the sub cone move down and up when you gently push on it without feeling it rub or make scratchy noise? I've seen blown subs make a little sound, but won't move because the coil former is deformed, seized to the pole, or unwound. Hell I've had and used subs that only started to move once you fed it enough power to over come being stuck, lol. [/QUOTE]
