got a budget man? coz the saying of you get what you pay for applies here aswell
if u are on a budget then u might want to condicer a jaycar monoblock or kicker..then you get onto higher brands where you will pay for the quality like soundstream or alpine.

also looks like the nominal power is about 750WRMS so the the amps u can pick from that produces power at 2ohm is good.

what type of box do u wanna put it in? and what type of music do you listen to?

[pihlor]

my budget is pretty reasonable but i dont wanna spend no more than $900ish
i listen to mainly rnb and hip hop so yeh its bass that im after

[pihlor]

and with the box i just bought a pre made one from autobarn

that is a pretty beefy sub that takes a lot of power, id look at 1000w rms + so something like the alpine 1000/1 monoblock, something from the digital designs range or on a budget look the bigger jaycar response amps.

[pihlor]

cool thanks so much 4 ur help gonna go amp shopping 2moro i just got paid :)

[Vinnie]

also the fact it is listed as 'spl' just means that pioneer have designed it to be more of an spl product (ie. high power handling), it doesent mean the sub itself is any different or requires anything special (except for maybe more power to run it at its optimal capacity).

with a budget of $900 and for a sub like that ide prob be leaning towards one of the digital designs amps, theyre well know to have good bang for your buck and decent quality.

[cracker]

i dunno about u but i needed a capasitor to run my type x if ur thinking of getting one maybe think about getting stronger power supply like battery or whole new alternator

got that exact sub, fellas at motoquipe reccomended the response monoblock "class d" amp, havent installed it yet, but i heard them run it off a similar amp and it sounded sweet

[jay_vtec]

ditto i have the same sub and im using a pretty old ALPINE V12 amp i picked up for 50 bucks from a friend...i listen to rnb and hip hop mainly as well and i tell ya it does the job really good.....but like most ppl have said jaycar has some greats amps and very reasonable prices

[pihlor]

i just bought the amp for my sub got the response one i just finished installing it lol i wanna try it but its almost 11pm and the neighbours wont be too pleased if i did so gonna give it a beating 2moro !
