[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8459256, member: 658055"] That could be it, but it couldn't hurt to see the rest of the sub for comparison. If you don't already have one, get a multimeter. You could probably find a decent one on Amazon for $20, or you could get an acceptable one for under $10 at harbor freight or radio shack. This will help you determine the impedance of the sub's coil(s), help you ensure you have then wired properly if it's dual voice coil, and help you set the gain on the amp. If you do go with that boss, or anything with a remote bass knob - don't use it. It changes the gain on the fly and you'll most likely clip the sub to death (you'll learn about that later). Same with the "bass boost" knob. Don't use it for the same reason If the sub pictured is the one you linked then that amp might be a good fit. The boss supposedly does 413W RMS @ 4. That sub is a 4 ohm svc sub rated (I think it said) 350 or so. The apps probably overrated and with the gain set correctly you should be fine. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
