Question is this amp ok?

Is this amp ok? Do you guys think its too much power to push a single 10'' or 12'' sub. The amount im spending on a sub is $100 max. So i'm thinking the sub would have around 200-300 watt rms. So do u think it is too much or too little or just right? Thank you.

It's a pretty crappy amp... Not going to lie there...

What's the maximum you want to spend on an amp?? Do you mind buying used?? Any space limitations?? What kind've sub are you thinking about powering??

Post a response to those questions and I'll see what I can find..

I honesty want to spend a maximum of $100 on an amp. Also, on the sub I want to spend a maximum of $100. I dont need something like 400 watts rms. 200 to 250 is good enough because I just want to add a little more bass to my car. Also, have you ever dealt with that company or do you know if its pretty good to deal with them? Thanks.

That's a good PG amp. a few bucks over budget, but should be ok?

For a sub, the Image Dynamics ID10V3D2 is 120.95 shipped BNIB with full warranty from sounddomain.

If the 20 bucks is over budget I can probably find something else, but it will be a step down in quality.

I also have a MINT Rockford Fosgate Power 200.1 amp I'd do for 100 shipped.

it will be tougher to find a good amp for under 100 dollars than a sub. look into profile. they have very good amps for people on a tight budget. also check out the cadence z series amps. it is also much easier to shop for an amp if you already have the sub. i would strongly suggest looking for the two together. look into image dynamics or tc sounds for the sub. you could call tc and ask for an overstock sub and get it for an excellent price.

if you only want to spend about 100 on an amp, start looking for a used amp....I'd say your best bet would be an rf 2chnl amp....say, the 300.2 or something....300watss of clean power for a cheap price when used

I second that Phoenix Gold Tantrum -- that's about as good as you're gonna get for a brand-new -- Internet too.

Or... you could just buy Rob's Rockford Fosgate -- solid little amp.

I don't know what sub to use yet. I was considering 15" ID that pushes 300 rms. For right now, I am pleased with my front stage. I will eventually upgrade that but I want to look for a sub first. Yah, I was considering the FS amp. There's just some many options.
