Need help choosing amp

[thablewprnt 0]

Hello. I need help selecting an amp for a Cerwin Vega 12" Stoker. My budget is $500. I had my eyes set on a Hifonics XXV- Colossus. Supposedly it's rated 1x3200@ 2-Ohms, which sounds like more than enough to power a stroker efficiently, but after some reading in this forum, the brand now sounds like borderline garbage. I also hear that this speaker requires a very large custom box, or is that also a myth? I have a 99 Crown Vic, so space is no object. Is there anyone here that builds them, or online? If not can anyone help me with specs to take to a local audio shop? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You got a link shizzzon? I am not familiar at all with what you're referencing. Also, I'm sort of building a "budget" system. I would rather stick to a single amp for sub, and a 4 channel for hi's. 3 amps will kick up parts and labor something awful.

oops, i mean that $498 is final, there is no additional shipping charge.

Just go to www.audioque.com

Thanks for the help, but what's so good about this brand? Are you running these amps? I have never heard of them....Not saying that doesn't make them good, I'm just curious as to what they're about. I have seen them mentioned many times around here, but.....
