Anything with 200 to 400 watts RMS at 2ohms mono will work with that sub. A JBL 300.1 comes to mind, should be able to pick one up pretty cheap these days.

Just look for a small cheap mono block amplifier.

Or, you could get a more powerful amp, and have additional power on tap, in case you upgrade your setup later. $300 will get you a **** nice amp.

An Orion 600.1. And be conservative with the gain

Do you have one or two? Because in your sig it says you have a pair.

Also, what are the rms ratings? Dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm?

Id get a 9.1.....and be VERY conservative with the gain....(assuming you have pair, if not, might be too much power.)

I have the perfect amp for ya for wayyy cheaper than that and anyone can attest to how clean the power is. JBL BP 300.1, puts out 300 watts at 2 ohms and is underrated. PM me if you're interested. I have no use for it anymore and will let it go for cheap....

^^thats a good choice right there if you are running a single.

If you are planning to run a pair of TS-W305DVC's you will need 400 to 800 watts rms into a 4 or 1ohm load to get the full potential out of the speakers.

I say 4ohms or 1ohms because with a pair DVC 4ohm subs your only wiring options is 4 or 1ohms.

Kenwood KAC-7252 puts out 500 watts rms in to a 4ohm load and can be purchased(in Canada) for $300 at a retailer, you will need to haggle though.

Specifications for the TS-W305DVC are as follows

Voice Coil 4-Layer, Long Voice Coil

If shopping online, your 300 dollars Canadian will magically become 225 dollars american, I strongly suggest you up your budget to 400 dollars Canadian.

225 bucks shipped and tax in for an amp that will do 800 watts rms at 4 or 1ohm (ideal) is going to be tough to find.
