I had a 100.2 RF Punch amp on my 2 RF Punch 12" subs. Tomorrow I'm taking my 6x9's and 4x6's back to circuit city and exchanging them for a component set to go in the kick panels I ordered from DJ Sexay. I am taking my amp and using it on the comp. set. Now I have no amp for my subs. I'm 16 and I do not have a lot of money right now because high school soccer just started so I had to quit my job. I do not want to spend over $150 on an amp. I MIGHT go up to $200 but I really don't want to. I just want to say first of all I am NOT looking for competition quality amps. I just want to hear my bass better than what I have now. My amp is 100W... and 25Wx2 RMS. That sux but it gets me by. I was looking in my summit magazine and saw some amps in there. They have some amps from Power Acoustik for pretty good prices. The 2 Channel 320W for $99.95 ( 75Wx2 RMS )... the 2 Channel 540W for $149.95 ( 135Wx2 RMS ) My subs are 8-Ohm 200W subs. I was just trying to find a good 300W or higher 2 Channel amp. Also, at Wal-Mart they have 2 Jensen amps and one Pioneer amp for sale.
Jensen 2 Channel 300W $99.96 LXA300
Jensen 4 Channel 400W $149.96 LXA400
Pioneer 1,2,3 Channel 200W $couldn't find price GM-X252

If I got the 4 channel amp... bridged it for my 2 subs. Would that be worth the $150?? I am open to suggestions right now so any and all help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has a good amp they would like to sell me for $150 or less I'll think about it. Thanks In Advance!

I reply to questions I can answer

 

no u don't... u replied 2 this one but answered nothing... lol

 

You can get a Kicker ZR120 for somewhere around $250 including the crossover, probably less if you look around. It's only $50 more than your limit, and substantially, substantially, much, very much, a whole lot better than any of the other crap you listed. It hits hard, and will drive a pair of 4 ohm subs really well.

I would recommend looking at Alpine V12 amps. A 50x2 should be about $200, but it would be plenty to drive some subs. They have built in xovers and bass boost. Alpine usually underrates there amps. My 50x2 was tested at 75x2 @ 12v and I used to run it bridged at 1.5 ohms (2 10W6s in parallel).

Don't forget to check out ebay, either. You can pick up some fairly decent amps at well below retail price if you look long enough. Just don't forget to factor shipping into the cost.

There's also the option of buying a used amp on ebay. Huge savings, huge risk. Depends on what you're willing to do....

 

Bang for the buck, here are a few:

MTX stuff (the thunder line, models like 2300x, 2150x, etc.)

Aura (cheap as well).

PPI (art series, older stuff).

All are at the point where you can get very high quality, made in the USA watts for less than $.33 each. That is what I would do. Seen MTX 2300x amp (150 x 2, 600 x 1 but really closer to 750 x 1) for $200-220.

I personally like the Profile "Clarus" series amps. VERY affordable, and although it is kind of unknown, it's really good. I got a 100x2 RMS amp for only 60 bucks on ebay, pretty good deal for that kidn of power. I'm also a 16 year old and know how hard it is to get a good system on a tight budget. Oh and also Crutchfield now carries Profile amps, so you know they're not crap. Just my two cents
