Need yours guys recommendation on an amp...

Long story short, I had my Alpine/Blau speakers stolen out of my car, so now I'm rebuilding. I just had a buddy give me a 10" Sony Xplode sub (I know, I know - hey, it was free) so now I'm trying to figure out what kind of amp to use. Obviously, I don't want to dump a lot of $$ into it, so what's a good, cheap amp I can use with it? I think it only needs like 100-125 watts RMS...

Hmmm... forgot they had little amps, too. I was thinking like a Profile CA200 (65x2 rms) but the JBL P80.2 is only like $20 more, and would do the job, as well (160x1 bridged).

I'll have to call and see the price on the Profile. If Ikesound only wants like $50 for it, I might go that route. I'm cheap

Rockford Fosgate 200S. Seen them selling online for $100 since RF already has the 201S out (2003 model). 200 watts RMS x 1 bridged @ 4 ohms.
