Nope, another swap meet brand.

Try the following, alpine, kicker, mtx, phoenix gold, r. fosgate. These are real amps and can be had at reasonable prices. There are plenty more but it's just a start.

Check crutchfield and sounddomain for some good brands as well.

I wouldn't do that one either. Search for Power Acoustik here on this site, then decide.

I wouldn't go with Legacy or Power Acoustik either, those are crap.

What kind of sub(s) do you plan on running to the amp? Are they 4ohm or 2ohm? Single voice coil or dual voice coil? What's the RMS wattage of the sub(s)?

With that information I could probably point you to a decent amp for around $200.

You could get a HiFonics Tx1005D. 1000wrms x1 @ 1ohm

http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2858

You can only wire (2) 4ohm DVC subwoofers in a 1ohm or 4ohm load. If i'm wrong, someone please correct me. (Still a newbie)

If I am correct, I'd look for an amp on ebay that's 800-1000wrms x1 @ 1ohm or 4ohm. I'd save up some more money and get a better amp. I paid around $300 for my JBL GTO1201.1 amp and I got it running @ 4ohms to give me 787wrms. It's a good amp imo. I'd check for brands like Kicker, Eclipse, Orion, JBL, Phoenix Gold, etc.

That's just my opinion. I'm sure someone else more experienced will come along and give you better information.

Hope I helped tho.
