Should I buy this amp
Rockford Fosgate 500s Info link
Its going to be powering one 12" Polk momo. I was just wondering if it will work for me, cause I could get it for a good price ($165 shipped) and I don't have a ton to spend.

All the stats are in the link.....500 W X 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS....1000 watts peak. I don't know a ton about amps, so I figured I'd just post a link instead of blindly putting down facts.

he asked for info on the SUB. that way we can figure out if that amp is right for that sub.

yup if the sub is a Single Voice Coil 4 ohm sub (which from the specs you gave it looks like), then that amp should be a very nice match. if it is a DVC 4 ohm , then you can get a 2 ohm load or an 8 ohm load, and i wouldnt run that amp at 2 ohm mono, so you would onle be getting maybe 250 watts rms to the sub. hope this helps :thumbup:
