when you are running a MA sub, you dont anything more than a MA amp...

How much do you have to spend? Frankly, I wouldn't take either of those. But, of the two, the Profile would be a little better (easier to wire). The only way the MA would work is if you wired one coil to each channel.

that particular ma audio amp won't be best because you have a dual 4 ohm sub and can only get a 2 or 8 ohm independence and that amp is only stable bridged to 4 ohms and won't put out much power at 8 ohms. profiles are solid budget amps along with us acoustics. i'm assuming your on a budget since you listed a profile. another brand to consider is autotek. good amps at good prices.

I am not looking to spend much at all like $75-80 I am 16 with out a job and i don't have much money I found these on ebay and they have the right amount of power to push my sub with the ma i was going to do like squeak said and wire one coil to each channel.but if you can find anything better than these for around the same price please show me. thanks

-Notice it's rated @ 12.9V

And I would take this Profile over the one you listed: http://www.thezeb.com/p-Profile-CL600M-Mono-Subwoofer-Amplifier-103514.htm - only $15 over your price range. You should be able to find that much change in your couch cushions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

why dont you get something used from someone on the site? Sorry, I didnt check out the model of the MA amp, I figured you have the right one picked out for the sub already...my bad.

thezeb will price match millionbuy.com which is almost always much cheaper

Profile amps are great for the money I have one in my wife's car.
