Which amp to go with this sub

ED
Driver Name : e10Kx.44 /x .14
Voice Coils : Dual 2 or 4 ohm
Power Range : 150/400 watts
Applications : Sealed / Vented

I am pretty sure the power range is 150-400 w rms, since the eD site recommends a 400wrms amp. That said, I like the JBL amps and amp trying to decide whether to get the 300.1 or 180.2 The 300.1 is $20 more at sounddomain. I like the idea of having a dedicated amp for the sub, however, having the option to power 6x9's eventually is a plus. Ohm load isn't too much of a consideration, since the sub can be wired for just about any situation. With the 180.2 I will get more power, the 300.1 has "power supply switching technology" however which is supposed to reduce the drain on the car's electrical system.

Get the best quality amp you can afford thats in the subs power range or a litte over.

You'll never get a strainght answer on these boards anymore.

Seems like everyones into brand bashing these days.

sounds like the 300.1 is a class D amp, which are more effecient. But its not a super powerful amp to begin with so i think your electrical system would be fine with a class a/b of that same power
