Matching an amp to subwoofer

[smms25 10+ year member]

Hey,

I have a MTX T4512-04 12" subwoofer. It is rated at 225 RMS. It is a SVC 4ohm sub. Does anybody know of any cheap amp that I could use to power this safely? I am a car audio noob, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

i'd recommend getting something more than rated power.. most speakers can take more than rated rather easily... plus if you decide to ever add another.. youll already have the extra power...

my subs are rated at 200 rms each... i have 400 going to each.. and my amp (if my electrical coul dhandle it ) does about 1500... just gotta be careful when you do have alot of head room tho

plus the difference in the price of an amp that does 200 compared to an amp that puts out more power.. are usually similar (within reason)
