Since this sub is a single voice coil I would suggest going with a 2 channel ammp and bridging it. 2 channel amps are cheaper than mono amps and while not as effeceint, are cleaner. The MTX Thunder342 is a pretty nice amp. It is 340 watts bridged (at 12 volts which would be about 15% more with the engine running)and has a variable crossover and 18 db bass boost. Thats a lot of nice features and Crutchfield has it for $250.

The downside to running a 2 channel is that you can only run 1 sub mono as most amps arent stable at 2 ohms mono. But a 15" sub with 340 RMS watts at 12 volts will definitely hit pretty hard.
