For a sub you need a mono class D amp. Now in order to know if you need a 1 ohm or 2 ohm stable amp we need to know what coils your sub has.
If it's dual 4 ohm, Kicker ZX750.1 or ZX1000.1
If it's dual 2 ohm, Audioque 1200d
There are certinaly other good amps but IMO those are the best value and still are good quality. |

my sub is a dual 4 ohm, so probably the ZX1000.1? |

Isn't that putting the cart in front of the horse a bit?
If you know nothing about anything why buy a sub blind then ask to have an amp paired with it?
I'm not hatin' on your choice of sub BTW. |
