im gettin a new amp for my subwoofer...my sub is a 10' mtx sledgehammer with enclosure...theres one on ebay item number 150003552586

how many watts should the amp have? rms or max? i have an infinity amp and it doesnt handle it....any suggestions?

I'd get a 600 watt, like a 2 channel, and bridge it to 1. RMS wattage would be at least 250, depending on the amp.

Which infinity amp is it? Is it small, like a 60 watt or something?

yeah, that sub is rated 300w RMS, and it states 150-300 watts recommended

I'd say more like 250-400 RMS watts. More is better with subs. You don't need to use all of the power, so that gives you headroom, control, and a cooler running amp.

It's a single 4 ohm sub, so you need an amp that produces the RMS power at 4 ohms. It can be a mono or bridged 2ch amp.

Suggestions are based on your budget.
