Hello, I know nothing about subwoofers, but I bought this box at a flea market for $5 because it looked cool. I'd like to find an amp for it, but I have no documentation.

I honestly can't find much info about it. I measured the subs to be 8" and found this sole post via Google:

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110616074950AAZBEmh

The comments in that thread lead me to believe that the speakers are 150 RMS each, which seems rather low despite their age? There is a single set of terminals so they are SVC. Correct me if I'm wrong:

Currently they're wired separately, but if wired together that would be either 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance (I think)? That, and whether the tweeters affect anything, are what confuse me about finding an amp. All help is appreciated!!

what you want is a "monoblock" id say 200w @2 ohm brand any major brand will be more than enough for this application id bet $60 shipped you could get something

 
I lied get a 2 channel full range amp(i only seen the woofers before) 50w "rms" and up per channel at 4ohm will work same price applys

You have a blown cap in the amp more than likely. Had the same thing happen to a soundstream amp.
