Help me find an amp!

[SatinGTI]

I recently obtained an Inifinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 in a trade involivng some other things. I'm now in the market for an amp. I've seen a lot of stuff from Hifonics that looks good for the price, but I've also heard bad thigns about them overheating and such. So, car audio experts, I call on you to assist me.

* 10" 4-ohm subwoofer

* power range: 75-350 watts RMS (1,400 watts peak power)

My price range is under $200. However, thats pretty flexible.

I would also prefer something that has some room to grow. I eventually will upgrade my sub, and it would be nie if I idndt have to upgrade my amp also, however, that is secondary to getting this sub working ASAP.

How about under $100 including shipping for a suitable amp? That suit you okay?? If so how does an amp factory-direct (so you know the included warranty will be valid) for $65 + shipping grab you? I can't imagine shipping being more than $15 or $20 so you're looking at around $85 total expenditure...

Have a look here and scroll to the first amp on the page (the CA600)

Rated for 450w @ 4 Ohms in mono bridged mode which is likely just a bit overrated but not terribly. In any event it will definitely give you the 350w RMS your sub is rated for and a bit more. A bit of headroom never hurt anyone, I don't reckon. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Use the stickied tutorial found here to appropriately set the gains and you should be fine.

Ok, exuse my car audio newbness, but I found http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-600-WATT-TITAN-AMP-CLASS-A-B-NEW-TXI6006_W0QQitemZ220010776814QQihZ012QQcategoryZ18796QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem on Ebay, I it intrigued me. I know it gives too much power, but if I have read everything correctly, I can adjust the gain and it will work fine, correct?
