Have been out if the audio game since my Phoenix gold love affair 15 years or do ago. This amp good for a single 10 for $100 ?

Killer price if new, still a good price used, if in excellent condition.
Also plenty of power for some nice bass.

So what 10" subs are you looking at?

I have no clue yet. I got him down to 80 it's been used 1.5 yrs he said. Care to make any reccomendations ? I'm hoping to get a used sub for relatively cheap. What type of rms and wattage should I be looking for ?what ohms etc ??

Any help or input is appreciated

Those subs need more air space then a stealth box offers.

I read all the reviews on that Alpine sub and they sound like they're the real deal. I guess I've been out of it a long time but back then A Sub for $100 looked like someones torn jeans wrapped around a wire hangar bracket. I think i'm going to order it and sounds like it will work good with my amp too ! Very much appreciate the help Blue

Two thumbs up to you !

After so long and staring at that website with the billion options.. I feel like I'm on a different planet.

Back in the day we had Pyramid amps that promised 800 watts for $150. And then there were Punch competition amps promising 40 watts for $500. They were confusing times lol !!!! I remember hooking both of those amps to the 2 10s I had in my 300zx and can only imagine the look on my face when the pyramid amp had me smiling, and then hooked up the punch and it nearly blew my trunk into the sky

Oh, there's still plenty of expensive high dollar subs available!

**5abivt** · 05-12-2010, 03:49 AM

I bet there are!! For the price it's cheap like the amp and I think it'll do more than what I want.

He gave me a little bass booster knob that I think was extra. Uses a phone cable. Really works out anytime the wife hops in I can turn it down lol. Amp Aldo has a certificate showing 477 watts rms rating which is kinda cool too.

i actually have a similar setup, just installed a month ago and i love it. I have the stealth box with the cvr 10inch dual 4ohms. beats hard enough for me and i dont even have the 400 amp like you, i have the 300. it all depends how hard u wanna sub, but in my opinion if u go with kicker, the cvr is good enough.
