Buying the right amp

[veedubdan74]

Hi

I recently purchased a 150rms watt sub for my car and need to find an amp for it. Im looking for a cheap but decent amp that can handle the sub..

I was looking at the BY400 400W BAJA 2 Channel Amplifier from http://profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm (at the bottom)

this yellow amp would match my car, speakers, and sub (74 beetle) so if this amp is decent i would consider buying it

Thanks in advance

what kind of sub and ohm rating?

Profile line of amplifiers is good budget stuff but a 40 dollar amp is not gonna do it trust me, see the size of that thing - very small.

Cerwin vega 300x1 is $99

What ohm is your sub and how many voice coils does it have? need to match impedances between amp and subwoofer.

8 ohms and all i see is Voice Coil Diamter (in.) and its 2"

on this site http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Lightning-Audio-B3-12-8

it says dual coil.. thats a few of the specs, my user manual has more if needed

the only thing.. i was actually looking for an amp like $50, although thats prob pretty cheap for a decent amp?

Thanks

does my sub have 4 ohms per voice coils? And if so does that just mean i need a 4 ohm 2 channel bridgeable amp?
