Default Please help me choose amp.

The amp i have now SUCKS.
What would you guys use to run a 10" Pioneer 600 watt sub?

Do you gusy like Alpine? Can you recommend a solid Monoblock Amp?

Not on mine but I've heard an Alpine monoblock amp running 300 watts RMS (to the sub). VERY clean and impressive sound but the one thing that bothered me was that it had an annoying rattle sound when playing at very low frequencies.

go with crossfire amps man. Or some old phoenix gold amps if you can find them for sale. DO NOT get any of the new phoenix gold series, they are in a bit of financial trouble and their quality is circling the drain because of it.

I guess I was looking to spend 200.00 or less but I will go up in price if that is unrealistic. I am using this Amp only to power 1 sub.

I dont care much about high power. I care about clean consistant power.

That's a great amp for your needs Tom.

What Pio sub are you running? In what box?

That amp is pretty good as well. I don't have anymore of those around ... otherwise I could get you and insane deal on it. Check ebay and google though .. they go pretty cheap.

Yeah I have the new phoenix gold Xenon and Octane R amps in my car and there is absolutely nothing wrong with their quality. Clean power with absolutely no issues.

The sub is a 10" 600 Watt Pioneer Premier Nickel Plated. It is in a custom box behind my drivers seat.
