Need an amplifier for a single Kicker Comp VR 8

[BriIIance 10+ year member]

I don't want a lot of bass so I'm looking at getting either a n 8" or maybe 10" Kicker Comp VR 4-ohm sub but I need an amp to go with it. All the amps I can find are a lot more power than I need, the RMS is 200w, Do you guys have any recommendations?

Also I'm still not 100% sure I'm gonna get an 8, I might go with the 10. I just want some bass to make my music sound good, I don't want to rattle my car apart. Would the 10 be too loud?

Get the better amp and turn the gain down??

1 10, especially a Kicker Comp 10 wont rattle much unless you're maxing it out a lot :/

those sundown ones say they were a limited time offer back in 08, I'll check out the image dynamics ones when I get home (ebay is blocked where I work). thanks for the help

that amp looks like a good deal. I can find the new sundown e8v2 for about 90 on ebay, but its only 200 rms. wouldn't that 350rms amp be too much for it? I checked out the other 2 subs (cadence and image dynamics) but I can't really find any info on them, however they both run about $90. these are very much in my price range, I think there are just wayyy too many options to choose from in the car audio market
