Amp for a HDS215???

[bassinmytruck]

I am looking to purchase a Soundqubed HDS215 rated at 600w Rms. Any one know of a cheap monoblock amp that would do good with this sub?? Any other box tips would also be appreciated. soundqubed recommends 3.50^ft (4) 8" or (2) 12" or (1) 15" 56.0 sq" vent x 20" long. Does this sound good?

Thanks allot man.. Is this good quality? I am really a noob when it comes to amps but this one looks pretty good!

Also do you know of a site where I could get the amp with the bass knob? Or know of a place where I can get the knob for cheap?

Thanks again for all your help!

honestly it is a cheap amp, but will give you more power then your needing. Just watch your gains

the mb quart onyx1600 for 129 seems like good deal and they solid amps TBH...

Well if I set it to 4 ohms I wont get more power than needed and it will be safer for my sub, right? My sub is 600w RMS so 500 would be fine?

I have an Alpine MRP-500 I can sell you if you're after a cheaper option. It does 500rms @ 2 ohm. $80 shipped.

Alpine MRP-M500 Mono subwoofer amplifier — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com

Otherwise, I would buy a Hifonics Zeus line.

you could run the amp at a lower ohm load and be ok, just dont get gain happy and set the amp with a dmm. The only thing that will hurt you sub is clipping the signal which happens when the gain is over set. buy a dual 4 ohm sub and run the amp at 2 ohms, its more efficient there and will pull less current from your electrical system.

Ok.. I will look for a tutorial on how to set it with a dmm. So I shold run it at 2 ohms with 1000w or 4 ohms at 500w?
