suggest amp for Alpine sub

[ninjadust]

got an alpine 10' VR sub need an amp to power the sucker....

anyone got any suggestions - currently i've got i 2ch Kicker IX252 amp which hasnt got enough power to run the sub!!!

Personally i would check out the Jaycar range of amps. My bro has one running his 12 inch Kicker, and i think he bridged it to run 450 watts rms @ 4 ohms. Either way the amp he is using is the 2 x 150 watts RMS model. Sounds great.

I dont know specs of the sub you are talking about, but i am sure you could find an amp in their range to run it nicely.

My 2 cents!
