To start, I'm a newb to car audio. My Kenwood 600W amp (Kac 728s) went out on me. I would like some help on what would be a good replacement.

Budget: Would like to be at or under $100.00. ALso, i have no problem searching for a gently used amp on ebay or Craigslist cause I'm not in a huge hurry.

I don't need anything top of the line, just like to have the greatest amount of bass in that price range coming out of my existing subs.

The amp will be powering 2 12" MTX Roadthunder RT12-04 at 4ohm in a sealed box.

The specs say 1.5" voice coils, but also single or dual voice coil option.. Recommended power rating 100-200 watts RMS.

How can i tell if they are single or dual voice coil? Ideally, i want 200 watts going to each sub.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would personally go with Hiphonics. If you check out the car audio game right now.. they seem to be one of the best bets.. for the money and high numbers of power you can get out of em.. there worth it.

Get a bigger amp and turn the gain down so there is LITTLE stress on the amp and components.

Good luck
