Is This a Good Deal Or Is There Better?

I'm looking for a good amp for my sealed dual Rockford Fosgate 10" Punch sub box.  I believe they handle 200 or 250RMS.  I was powering them with an old US Acoustics USA 2200 amp, but need something smaller to hide.

Sonic is running a sale on the Alpine MRV-M500 for $107.99 and including the RUX-KNOB.2 for free.

Running my subs @ 2 ohms, this will put out 500RMS, around 100 watts more than the old 200 x 2 amp, and I'm guessing will be more efficient and maybe a little cleaner.

Just wondering what you guys think about this as a replacement.  Or is there better for the money?

Smaller is better (is possible) but not a dealbreaker since this is plenty small (it's less than half the size of my old amp).  And I do want an external bass knob.

Cool.  Thanks.  I just ordered one.  Lots of good reviews on Crutchfield and Sonic and a lot of people running bigger and beefier speakers than mine, so if I blow my speakers or just want more bass, at least I know I can upgrade to a set of 12's without a problem.

My box is about 24 years old but speakers seem to be in good shape (surrounds not dried out).  I bought it in 95 or 96 for my Thunderbird I had at the time and it has been sitting unused since 2010 when I sold the car.  Not sure if it'll have any effect on it holding up but if it dies, it dies and I'll upgrade.

9512 lol If you're in that realm of woofers, there's quite a good selection outside of those 2, but DD is a very good pick IMO.
