Okay firstly off forget all what you just said!



You need a amp that's 750 Wrms @ 1 ohm (mono or bridged)



So the cheapest that you can get way with is the Vibe Slick A7

Its 750 Wrms at 1 ohm at about 13.5 volts i used to have one and its pretty good for £150 (your rear view with shake) but i get something a lil better!



Vibe Black Box 4

RMS Out @1ohm mono : 800 w £200



Rockford Fosgate Amplifier T10001bd 1000 Watt Class-bd Mono

This will be wicked but its pricey!!



Anything



Pioneer, Alpine, JL audio, Rockford Fosgate, Directed, Vibe or MB Quart





Good Luck

A 2000 watt Kicker amp bridged with a decent crossover unit will give

you that deep sub-sonic sound you looking for. If you can't come across a kicker, you can pick up a 2000 watt Performance Technique

which can run you like 150 to 200 bucks. The kicker amp can run for

about 250+ so if your looking for something cheap you can always go for the 1200 watt performance technique which i see alot for around

100 to 150 bucks.



What type of radio you have?

Rockford Fosgate makes great quality amps, but if you want to go cheaper with almost the same quality, MTX audio is good. When you decide on what brand, you want your RMS of the speaker to be as close as possible to the RMS of the amp.

I suggest a Hifonics amp 1200 watts and wire your sub to 1 ohm
?

the best amp would be the kicker ZX1500.1 youd run all positives with positives and negatives with negatives then positive speakers to positive amp, and same with negative.

if you want real low deep bass try a GTO amp preferably a mono amp or at least bridgeable, (one sub off 2 out puts.) but remember, you need to look for the amp with the lowest rating in ohms thats where you will see propper bass, hope this helps.
