Best amp for $100-$130

[Chris Z 10+ year member]

So I've decided on two Rockford Fosgate P1S410 subs, as long as the "Buy one, Get one Free" sale doesn't go off soon. Now I just need to pick a good amp. These subs get 50-150watts RMS and 300 max, so I'm not really looking for a real expensive amp or anything, maybe a 500w or so. Basically, I'm just looking for a good brand that has some good reviews like Kenwood or Alpine. My budget is under $150, so around $100-$130 is the price range in which I'm looking.

Thanks for your time and opinions.

Those are single 4 ohm vc's, that means you need a mono amp that puts out that power

at 2 ohms, or a big 2 channel amp.

I think the kicker 400.1 is a good choice, maybe a hifonics 608.

All kinds of good amps for sale in the Classifieds here. Nice and cheap too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just get one that's stable at 2 ohms, like mcsoul said.

Ditch that bandpass enclosure and just get yourself a sealed or ported enclosure. Those things sound too punchy. You should also get or build an enclosure according to the subs you buy, thats what most people learn to do.

Heres a Kenwood for you that probably wont last long. (500wrms @ 2 ohms)

The OP probably doesn't realize what a great deal this is on a fantastic amplifier.

Oh snap, get that one. Great deal. Best amplifier your going to find in your price range bar none. Will put out a constant 400wrms all day on any impedance load. Will give you a firm response. Wont vary as your impedance rise changes, which is great.
