Budget amp for 8" Sub

[JazzScreamer 1]

Looking for a budget amp for a friend to drive an 8" Assasin sub in a .6 sealed enclosure. Any recommendations?

What is the budget?

If SVC4 then Orion

She was thinking around $250. Iwas thinking of using the ZED Mini, but wasn't sure about the wiring configuration . I t didn't seem to OEM friendly, but I spoke with Steve and he said that splitting the signal to get all four RCA would do the trick. I will definetly look into the ORION as well.

The minilith is a large step up in power and total amp.

Do you think that the Minilith would be too much amp for that sub and set-up?

I am biased because SSA sells the amp, but I am still not sure what the VC config of the sub is. If you wanted to go lower power and still have a top end amp, the gladius is a choice. But for a 4 ohm mono need and quality amp, the Orion is more then enough.

It's a single 4ohm VC on the Assasin.

I may also try fitting an Alpine Type S 2+2 VC into the space. So far I have a .6 to work with, with some glassing I may be able to bump it up to about .75.
