I need help choosing an amp. I jsut got a pioneer TS-SWX310 shallow mount sub. It's a truck with a crew cab. I've got 2 4" in the front and 2 6" in the back. I'm going to eventually upgrade those to 2 6x9's. I'm thinking on spending about $200-$300. Maybe to $350. |

It looks like this subwoofer is a single 4 ohm voice coil with a 250 watt rms rating. If thats the case I would suggest this kicker zx 250.2 it will put out 250 rms at 4 ohms bridged and its $102.00 shipped.

so you just want a mono amp for your sub or an amp for your speakers as well? |

you're gonna need a mono amp for your sub and a 4-channel amp for your speakers.
Kicker 08ZX300.1 for the sub and the amp sean suggested for the speakers.
what HU do you have btw? |

i think a 5 channel will fit your setup because they have a subwoofer channel and 4 regular channels..
i'd look Elemental designs, they have a great 5 channel model.
There's also kicker zx 700/5. |

Im not sure how much the elemental design 5 channel is or what power it puts out but you can buy a kicker 5 channel for $230 shipped on ebay. The only thing is its refurbished but they are supposed to look like brand new when that is the case. Its rated 70 watts x 4 and 210 in the subwoofer section at 4 ohms.
