Default What amp should I get?

I am going to be using a single 8" ID Image Dynamics sub. They are rated for 150watts RMS. So what amp do you guys suggest that will do 150watts rms. I want it to be as SMALL as possible to save trunk space.

I have not bought the sub yet...so I will purchase the sub based on what ohms I require for the amp. My options are as follows 1/4 ohms or 2/8ohms. This amp will ONLY be used for this one sub.


I was thinking of getting an orion amp...I have not been into car audio for nearly 5 years. So I am unsure who the best brands are. Orion was considered AWESOME 5 years ago hehe.


Shoot me your suggestions!!!!

I'm wondering if you'll even be able to hear an 8" 150w RMS sub in the S.

Maybe if you remove or cut the soft top tray...

I've got a couple of IDQ 12s (not in the S) and use a US Amp. ID is higher end speakers and I would use a nice amp to run them. I recommend US Amps. They are extremely clean and versital.

Thanks boatsound... that amp looks VERY impressive, and it is the smallest I have seen yet. I found it on woofersetc for 309 bucks... I am willing to gamble 309 bucks and get one.
