im gonna buy an FI BTL 18 but im gonna need to buy an amp for no more than $300 atm. i was thinking about going with the boss ol5kd, its 1 ohm stable and 5000w max but i figured that isnt "true watts" but i had the ol3kd hooked up to two 12" pioneer premiers and it did good. its only about 230 bucks on ebay. if i got that amp, with a good box, is it gonna sound good? and i want it to be loud! but its hard on a tight budget lol im open to any suggestions for amps under $300

thanks for any help!

a Boss amplifier will take out the purpose of owning a Fi subwoofer. A BTL can handle more than this if you're smart, but you could always go for maybe a used AQ2200

Bigpimpin91 runs each of his at 1 ohm bridged and doesnt have a problem with it, its not recommended... and the reason i am always posting it.. is because for 300 bucks you cant really beat it, but its no SUNDOWN like the other nuthuggers around here want to throw in peoples faces, at double the pricerange....

i know bigpimpin texted me saying he clamped 1700w at 7 ohms out of his one day... each
