How much are you looking to spend for the amp?

 

Find a mono block, [1ch] amp. with at least 150-200 watts RMS into 4 ohms.

The JL Audio JX500 is a little over-powered but it would work very well, just watch the input gain setting on amp. 94

 

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=608 with a 10" sub and only 150-250 watts it's not going to be loud enough to rattle stuff, it should just sound good.

 

Recommended optimum RMS wattage for that sub is about 150W-175W RMS... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...p?series_id=15


The JX250/1 is only 175W RMS into 4 ohms, [that's at 14.4V just barely enough wattage], although the JX500/1 is overpowered for the sub, [340W RMS into 4 ohms] it's far better to be overpowered then under-powered, the amps gain control can be used to control the output of the amp. 94

 

That has more to do with the enclosure itself rather than the sub.

Any amp that'll give you 300-500@ 4 ohms would work well.

If you don't have your front stage amped, get a 4 channel and use it power everything

 

The JX line is a class A/B, so basically it's a bridged 2-channel. No big deal, but you could roll with a Memphis 16-PR2x100 and hit 300x1@4Ohms RMS for around $210.

 

I have a JL A2150 amp hooked to this same sub and it sounds perfect!
