I need a new amp
#1
I dont want to spend a fortune but the cheap hunk of **** I have now is not driving my new sub, 10 inch kicker iso with dual voice coils 2ohm... So any suggestions as to what I can drive that with, without spending a small fortune.

I paid $450 CDN for it 10 years ago. Funny thing I noticed back then was you could make a big jump in amp quality without paying a huge amount more. Least it seemed like it to me. I haven't shopped car audio in a long time.
I would also check out McIntosh and Soundstream. You may know McIntosh as big time high quality home stereo stuff, but their car audio was surprisingly affordable in comparison.

I have a phoenix gold amp, i think its 200watts total. Been awhile since I bought it now, but its more than enough and cost a couple hundred bucks max if I remember correctly.
u use it for a sub? 200 would be nice

Yep, one sub. Not huge, not fancy, and the quality is good. Before my old setup was stolen, it pushed a 8" alpine sub in a bandpass box, and wow it was amazing.
Just took a peak in my car and this is what I have. They still sell it. http://source1audio.econgo.com/?BODY=cat/105450a.esl&

check the specs on the amps, as long as its 2 or 1 ohm stable its good to go.
I have some Sony amp in my car, it seems good, but I have to say the Infinty BassLink in my other car really sounds good for as simple as it is.
