Okay so you got your hands on an eclipse Titanium..good catch..that's a $750 sub..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

For an Amp.. most cost efficiant would be an MTX 6500D from onlinecarstereo.com Can't beat the $309 shipped price..and that amp puts out about 800-900Wrms. and is stable into 2ohm mono..which is what you need...If your not too shy with your Money and feel like spending an Extra $100-150 get an MTX 81000D or a JBL BP-1200.1 for $449 +shipping.. and yes..your sub can take up to 1500Wrms for music.. Eclipse rates alt heir subs at what they can handle for 24 hours with a 50Hz test tone..

Cheers
