hahaha affordable??? r u joking. jl makes some of the most expensive amps out there. depends on how much wattage the sub is u need to power. alpine makes good amps and are resonable if u shop around online. hifonics though not the best amps make decent amps thatll put out a lot of good power. there wattage is a little overrated though. stick to hifonics's xx line (thats their top end line) though the bxi line is decent.

You can get a JL 500/1 on ebay for $250-300. As long as you stick with the main brands you will be fine.

in all honesty, i'm not good with audio stuff and im getting the sub and box for free from a relative. he told me it was a 4ohm...whatever an ohm is i'll ask him what kind of sub it is.
