[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8726132, member: 676743"] Tbh even though your subwoofer is only 250 watts RMS I would still get something a little more then 300 watts maybe a 500 watt amplifier so you have some headroom and the ability to upgrade the subwoofer if you want down the road. Always better to have more power available then not enough. I would consider any of these below The 1st one is a Rockford Fosgate that has 300 watts RMS at 4ohms & 500 watts RMS at 2ohms [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BF6HYDE/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] This one is a Kenwood Excelon X501-1 which does 300 watts RMS at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B51Z0D4/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] This one is refurbished but JBL makes a decent monoblock as well.
