if its a 12w3v2d2, then you can use a us-acoustic 4150. Its 450rms@4 ohms i believe. They aren't very expensive and they come with a 3 yr warranty. It is PLENTY of power for a single 12. IT WILL BLOW IT IF YOU ARE DUMB WITH THE GAINS. I sold a setup exactly like that to a friend and the sub was toast in about three months. ( I ran it for around 4) He gained it all the way up (since he "knew" what he was doing and it was HIS stuff.) and slammed it nonstop. That said, i think us-acoustic amps are very effecient, clean and easy on the budget.
