whats his budget??

I would look for something that puts out 1000-2000rms @ 2ohms...I no thats a big jump.. but X's are kinda power hungry (ineffecient motor) so anything in that range would be fine

maybe around 300$-500$ it's strange though the system bumps like crazy

if you want to go kinda cheap look into hifonics, but for a nice amp look into ED nine 1 or soundstream 1500D

I would get a Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1

that would be perfect for that sub
