Hello...
First of all im on a very low budjet...
I have a El102 subwoofer... IT's a bazooka tube of 10" and 200 watt RMS... In reality I don't really know for the 200 watt. but my last amp was putting around 100-120 watt rms and it was playing right...
I have the choice of some amp for my budjet...

first one...
The Pioneer GM-372 (120 watt RMS bridged, fixed 80hz low pass) http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-QaP9XjnNQDK/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=110&I=130GMX372&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N

The second:
A keenwood...
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-QaP9XjnNQDK/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=110&I=113KAC5201&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N
Almost the same spec as the pioneer...

The third:
A MTX road thunder...
I don't know but I don't trust this one... but he's in my price range...
http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/roadThunder202.cfm

the forth:
A RF that push 150 watt RMS... a fixed low and hi pass
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-QaP9XjnNQDK/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=110&I=575150S&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N
Seem good... but 20 buck over what I can afford...

the last one..
A RF 201S.... same thing but W/ 200 watt and a bass boost...
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-QaP9XjnNQDK/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=110&I=575201S&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N

The reality is that The MTX i don't rerally love it, and the 2 RF seem so good but a bit over what I can afford, But if they worth the 20$ I'm going for it...

Also in the case of the RF i don't know if 150watt is enough or I should go w/ 200watt...
If I put 200 watt to my sub I will maybe blow It... But I can allway drop the gain...

Thank for your help... If you have any good recomendation i'm open!

ebay isnt that bad when your in canada. ive bought several things from canada and i live in usa indiana. shiping took alittle longer but great deal! just search for a product you want and buy from the closest seller that will ship to canada or is located in canada. ive only had 1 bad deal thru ebay and he had a low feedback numbers. so as long as you buy from a seller that has over 100+ positive feedbacks you should get a great deal! but any lower than 100 or quite a few negatives its your own risk. some people are new sellers with great deals but unfortunatly thier is always that one jerk seller than screws people over and ruins it for EVERYONE.

For crying out loud. Don't order from crutchfield. They just about rape you on prices. Try another online store like http://www.thezeb.com

Lol you're right....I just ordered a Panasonic CD player from eBay for $55 less than I could have gotten it at Crutchfield. Simply insane!

They do have good prices on clearance items though, I've gotten some good deals on an amp, two sets of speakers, and my first CD player. But usually, their prices suck.

Personally, I would go with the RF over the Pioneer, just cause I do not care for the Pioneer amps too much. JMO
