how does this combo sound?
I currently have a
Pioneer TS-W305DVC
Size: 12 inch
Rec. Sealed Box Dims: 1.10 - 1.30 cu.ft.
Rec. Ported Box Dims: 1.20 - 1.40 cu.ft.
Free Air Usage: not recommended
Sensitivity: 89 dB
Frequency Response: 18-2,500 Hz
Recommended RMS Power: 400W
Peak Power Handling: 800W
Impedance: dual 4 ohms subwoofer wiring options
and I am thinking about buying a
Ma Audio M283I amplifier
Selectable Crossover: LPF, FLAT, HPF
50Hz - 250Hz Low Pass Filter
50Hz - 250Hz High Pass Filter
Selectable Bass Boost (0db, 6dB, 12dB)
2 x 100W Rms @ 4 Ohm Stereo
2 x 200W Rms @ 2 Ohm Stereo
1 x 400W Max @ 4 Ohm Bridged
The amplifier was the best I could find for a $80 dollar price range.
what do u guys think?

this amplifier would be grossly under powering that sub. your sub needs 400watts of power at 2 ohms. that amplifier only puts out 200watts at 2 ohms. i well do a bit of looking and see if i can find a 400watt for under 100$

best i could find was at www.partsexpress.com was a ma audio amp 400watts rms to 1 channel at 2 ohm. its 189$ with a bit of shopping you might be able to get it down a bit. but i cant see finding a mono amp with 300-400watts of power for less then 150$

That sub is decent enough, but to get the most from it, a MONO amp is your best bet. Something that will deliver 400 RMS @ 2 ohms is your target. Even if the amp were a tad larger or smaller in power, still OK.
A 2 channel amp will work, but you cannot bridge most 2 channel amps below a 4 ohm load unless it is a High Current (HC) amp.
The JBL 300.1 will deliver >300RMS @ 2 ohms, but hard to find them at a decent price now. Do you have a budget max in mind?
