Putting together a small system..

I'm putting together a small system for a friend of mine. So far she has 1 JL 12w0, and she needs an amp. The RMS wattage on the sub is 125 watts, now she needs a decent amp to power it with. Keep in mind shes on a budget of $100 or less. I was thinking the Pioneer GM-X362. Here's a link to the specs on this amp...Pioneer GM-X362 Specs


any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would try something other them a Pioneer amp, they just don’t put out much power. You will NOT get 200W out of that amp.
Why where you looking at that amp? Budget?

I would also stay away from pioneer amps,though their other equipment is good their amps need a little work.I would go with audiobahn or mtx,one of the brands that sticks in the amp and sub catagory.I paid 160 for my audiobahn amp and it is 800 watts.I know you can find a smaller amp for less,good luck.
