Cheapest Amp For A Type R?

[travolta 10+ year member]

Hey I'm going to be getting a type R for a friend soon and wanted advice on what amp to get for him. He wants to spend around $100 but will go higher if he has to, but he is going to want the cheapest option available. Btw I haven't got the subs yet so I can get either D2 or D4 versions.

Thanks

100 on sub and amp or just amp?... goodluck finding a worthy amp for under $100.00

There's a few ways to look at it

Either go for something used or the only thing I can find for that price is a Bazooka

A lot of people will talk a lot of shit about that amp, but I'm pretty **** sure you'll get around 450w rms out of it, it's not as bad as you would think

I ran the bla1500 on two Comp VR 12's for afriend and it turned out a LOT better than you would have thought

I had an el1500 it did 500rms @ 2ohms. Not a bad amp for the price.

Not the best, but would power the sub nicely.

It doesn't push out the 800WRMS, but more like 500-600 I would say.

dont go cheap.. if you go cheap on an amp with a type R or any other High End Sub you might as well go on ebay and buy some lightning audios..

Becuase if you have a type R but have a shitty amp.. its not going to sound any different then lightning audio or low end audiobahn..

I reccomend a HiFonics BXi1206d but you wont get that for cheap.. or atleast for "cheap" as in your terms.. i can find one pretty cheap but its not gonna be under 100

I know he would really benefit from a quality amp, but he's not huge in to car audio, and just wants something cheap. Any other suggestions?

...I think even an Xplod is out of the picture for you at a $100 budget. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

That's actually the one I was looking for, just couldn't remember the model number, and the one I posted came up on eBay first.

a little over the budget (not too much) but i think this might be the best you can do unless you go used....
