What kind of enclosure do you plan to use? Typically, you'd need 800-900W RMS with the recommended sealed box. Different enclosures determine the power needed. Being a dual 2 ohm sub, you'll need either a 1 ohm stable amp or an amp that will put the recommended power into a 4 ohm load (too much for your budget). A JBL 600.1 would work well, I'd do 2.0 cu ft ported box tuned to around 30 hz. If you want a sealed box or more power in a ported for SPL, a JBL 1200.1 may be floating around for under $250 if you look around enough.

memphis does make pretty good amps, i'd say it work, its says 1100watt amp, i'm going with that being the max, itll probbaly put out about 500-600rms, that should do you pretty well...not certain though...that 1100 could be at rms at 1ohm....find the amp on a website and get the specs of it

I wouldn't use that box....tuned too high....You'd be missing out on potential from that sub.

but in the 40's it gives you a bit more spl.

no...but that also depends on your box...if you only have one go with the 600.1
