have subwoofer need amp

The kid has a 10" subwoofer rated at 300w 1100w peak, 4 ohms. What size of amp should we look for? He is on a budget so it needs to be reasonably priced. Here is the model number of the sub. Sony Exlpode model xs-l101p5w.

Browse ebay or Car Audio Video - Car Subwoofers - Car Amplifiers and Speakers , look for an amp with 150-300wrms output at the rated ohms impedance of your subwoofer. Something like this:
Power Acoustik Reactor REACT1-1100 (react11100) Mono Subwoofer Amps Car Amplifiers - Sonic Electronix Don't need to spend a ton of money.

A slightly more powerful amp won't clip/distort but you have to watch the volume knob so you don't push the sub past it's limits.

My first sub was a 10" in a 90' Ranger. Wanted more bass after a week. LOL

If you're running off a factory deck and hooking into rear speakers then get an amp that has hi-level speaker inputs. If not any amp will do. Look for class-D (higher efficiency than traditional class A-B designs). Need to run at least 8gauge power cables from the battery to power it.
