Thats only a 120watt amp. and the sub is 1000. Try looking for something with more wattage than the sub.
Its always better to over power then to under power a sub.

What model is the sub?

And if you truely are looking to run 1000 watts RMS of bass, 😱 you will need to upgrade the cars power supply and invest in quite a bit of sound deadening...

Assuming you have a JBL GT4 12 inch, it's RMS is only 250 watts and 1000 watts peak, the amp in your link will work, however if your only running one sub your better off with a bridgeable amp. You want to try to match your RMS rating on your sub to an Amp that can put out the same or more as long as it doesn't exceed the Peek rating. If you go beyond your peek, your risking a blown sub.

This would be a better choice:

Second hand I would!

An old genesis profile 4 or JL 250/1 for similar price to that JBL above :)

Genesis Profile Sub would be great for that sub. They can go for very good prices, got mine for about £90, I would say a far better amp than the JBL amp...

There is one on eBay for for £99 and it comes with a sub level controller, which don't come up very often.

I have one and its brilliant, coupled with my JL w3 10" sub. Very hard hitting!

A Genny sub amp that I was watching went for a mere 70 odd quid which is a bargain!

[freshairmini]

Crazy cheap really, well worth the money.

Wanted it for mine but need an exhaust system first to pass the MOT lol
