Help trying to choose AMP

[sylvaner01]

I have two choices in amps, a Kenwood and an Alpine.
I am trying to run a 10" 200W RMS sub and I dont know which amp to choose.



The Kenwood is $120 and the Alpine is $150, here are the specs:

Kenwood: http://sg.kenwood.com/Car_Entertainment/Power_Amplifiers/KAC-8104D
Alpine: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPM450/Alpine-MRP-M450.html?tp=115

Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Do you mean sub?
He stated 200W RMS.

I'd personally go with the Alpine. What kind of sub is it?

 

[klutchDb7]

Sorry yeah meant sub..

 

[sylvaner01]

the sub is rated at 650W, 200w rms
Its an alpine sub btw =D

Yeah, just go with the Alpine amp.
Is it a Type-S sub or Type-E?

 

[sylvaner01]

It doesnt say red.line, just says "Bass 200" on the front of it.

impedance of the woofer?

Either amp will work fine. Alpine has a slightly better track record (and quality, IMO) than Kenwood amps

Thanks very much, I will go for the alpine I guess. Sell my kenwood and save up for a new battery
