help with finding a 2ohm amp.

[Moofs]

So I bought an alpine type s 12 inch sub but I dont have a strong enough amp. The sub is a dual 4ohm voice coil so I want to run it at 2ohms. I'm looking for around 150-350 watts rms at 2ohms. Can anyone help me find an amp for under 125 that fits this bill? I've been to all my local pawn shops, stores, etc.

I tried craigslist also.

Any ideas?

Have that amp! I love it the birth sheet says 271RMS

haha thats the one I was looking into also. Now I'm kinda debating what the best path is.

I have an almost new alpine type S sub and a used alpine MRV t707 amp.

These are going into a 94 toyota corolla which will NOT be upgraded further. Once I get a new car I'll buy better things. Then probably sell this stuff, this is a BUDGET/CHEAP setup.

I'm thinking my options are:

Option 1: Use the alpine sub and spend 120 for the fosgate amp. Run that setup at 2 ohms.

OR

Option 2: Save or sell the type s. Run the Alpine amp bridged at 4ohms which gives me 240 watts RMS. Then just buy a cheap 12 inch single voice coil 4 ohm sub.

Like a Hifonics HFi 12S4, Orion CO124S, pioneener TS-W303R or a Kenwood KFC W3011. All these are like 200-300 watts rms and 30-50 dollars online.

I feel for this setup option 2 would be the smartest move. What do you think?

btw: how can you tell if an amp is good? They hooked it up and it powered a sub etc but I wanna double check everything is 100%.

I think I'll just add the sub and go with option 2. It'll save me like 60-70$. I'll save the type S for my future setup....way future. lol

Out of the 3 subs I posted which do you think is best? Or can you suggest something else? (single VC, 4ohm, 12, 200-300watts RMS, no more than 55$)

i would keep the type s and get a fosgate amp. i have a 94 corolla also and my current system is in my signature. gets super loud but im used to it so its not so loud but people are like omfgitssoloudmyearshurt
