[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7202610, member: 628688"] Sealed and underpowering should not be in the same sentence. Generally you want more power with a sealed enclosure than any other type of enclosure due to the lower efficiency. 1) How big is the volume of the box? 2) $100 is not going to get you a good amp that is low on distortion at 1 or 2 Ohms. If you do find a 1 or 2 Ohm stable amp for $100 you're sacrificing quality and/or warranty coverage. Combining that with your plan of underpowering a "nice" sub is a recipe for product failure. 3) You might be more happy with a low RMS sub and a mono amp running at 4 Ohms. That way the sub is happy with the power it's getting and the amp isn't pushed into levels of audible distortion, or worse, clipping. [/QUOTE]
