Anyone have experience with DS18 brand amplifiers?

I would be a little concerned about something that cheap making those kind of claims. Even if it sounds like a good brand you will probably find out It's closest to putting out 200 watts

My thoughts exactly.  Though, I have had good luck with tiny amps in the past. Last year I installed a Kenwood KAC-M3001 in my son's car and it's been working fine. I just want a bit more power for my car.

There are many mini amps, the Rockford Fosgate amp for sure is high quality and does above rated power but there are many others, check them out:

Thanks Joe, I looked through those but the only one that is small enough and great quality is the $500 Rockford amp which is twice my budget ☹️

I'm trying to add a 10" sub to my stock stereo. I found an Alpine S2 (600w rms @ 2ohm) it's pretty shallow and only needs around a half a cubic foot sealed box. Now I need a compact amp to push it. I came across the Cerwin Vega XED6001D (600w rms @ 2ohm) it looks like a good fit and it's tiny but I just don't know about it's quality. It's also under $120 online which also worries me.  I'm not looking for competition quality gear but I don't want something crappy that will die on me in a year.  Anyone know anything about the CV XED amps or of another tiny amp that'll work for a 10? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
