My current one isn't pushing the new sub. Gonna have to get a new one, let me know if you know where to get a good deal. I need something with decent wattage. Gonna move the current amp to the front speakers when i get the new kappa's in.

How much money you looking to spend? Check this one out, audiobalm. Should be plenty of juice.

oh yeah Audibahn........might as well buy a new car. To be honest they arent that great. I have noticed they are going for more look then style. I am a true audiophile. I say that cause I spent $3k on my home speakers alone. I have heard just about every brand you can think of. IF you are pushing a sub go for something with true wattage. Like a Nakamichi or McIntosh. Both are costly but they have bad *** sound quality. Hooked my friend up with a nakamichi for his taurus. He loves it. If you look on ebay they arent that much.....

MMMcIntoshhhh Yeah! Amps aren't priced that bad either. Pretty big though.



I have a PPI A200 I used with a tri-wire passive crossover (two channel in, two channel high pass out and bridged sub) in my old Camaro. Running an Orion 12" and Pioneer (yeah, they were cheap) speakers. Pretty good output from a 2 X 50 amp. It would dim the headlights until I bought a Half Farrad Cap. I think PPI took the low road though, and started building crossovers into all their amps. Probably still deliver the goods though! Nice and small.

I have one 12 in a sealed box. The amp I have now is a 350 watt and it doesn't like going 2 ohms.
