Well... Then go buy a Zapco C2K4KW. Will it run those woofers? Damn straight. Will it blow those woofers? Again, hell yes, but you can always keep the gain down and have plenty of headroom.

You asked. You asked VERY open ended, and information lacking questions. You came here to try to get help from us, and that's all we are trying to do: help you.

It seems you have already decided on what you want to do, so... go do it. I'm done.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

First, there is no such thing as an amp that "works best" with a subwoofer. Any amp will work. Second, since you get what you pay for (as you are realizing with your truly bottom-of-the-barrel POS Jensen) we need to know how much you wanted to spend. You said $200 and I have no suggestions at that low end for you. And thirdly, "getting all specific" is what professionals do. If you can't handle answering specific questions, maybe you should go elsewhere?

actually i got that jensen on sale. for 150 aha. and your crazy if you think i go to stores and pay top dollar for amps. i can just get a slightly used amp from people i know for wayyy cheaper.

so im guessing i shall go with a 1000 watt mono amp with around 400 to 500 rms. thanks

OK here ya go. You want something that will run those subs than thats fine. First dont look at peak power, its as usless as tits on your sister, just look at RMS power. You want an amp that is gonna be around 350-500 wrms. See if you can find an MTX TC3001. It runs a couple hundred bucks in store and less online, it will pound those subs to no end and give you what your looking for.
