Lookin for an amp....

I am lookin around for a decent amp to power (2) 12" subs. I'm lookin to spend around $200 or less, since I really don't have that big of a budget to work with. Any tips on brands or power requirements would help a ton.
BTW, Its a 93 Accord in case anybody cares...

try the Jensen XA4300...sounddomain has it for $159.95
its a 50x2+100x2 watt RMS
u can use the 100x2 channel for your subs and the 50x2 channel for your speakers. IMO, i think its the best deal. it fits your budget. for more details...

how much are you willing to spend on the 2 subs? cuz thats kinda eh...not that great? try the cerwin-vega HED series. the 12's will handle 200 watt RMS. they are very good subs for the money. or you can go with one 12" that is louder than the two rockford fosgates. the cerwin-vega vega series perhaps?

One of my friends has those R.F. subs and he paid $80 for both. He has a pretty cheap Jensen (I think) amp and an Aiwa HU. Personally I thought it sounded pretty awesome, but me being a newbie, I haven't had THAT much to compare it to. I'm not looking to broadcast my stereo through the entire neighborhood, I just want some more bass. Is that a good deal on those RFs? Or would you suggest I get another brand? Again, I want to try to spend as little as possible so I can save money for other mods
Thanks again for the help

2 RF for $80 sounds like a good deal. given the fact that you just want some extra bass...the RF should do.
