Is this amp good enough?

Alright, ive decided to get brahma 10. What 5 channel amp is adequate for this? I'm thinkin of Phoenix Gold 9

p.s. http://www.subthump.com/vette.htm. If i put the cover over their 'flat top', wouldn't the rubbers on the sub hit the cover? and generally make the sound like crap?

I prefer the JL Audio 500/5.

however, the bramha can handle all sorts of power. I would want to put at least 500 watts to it.

For that, Rockford Fosgate, JBL, JL Audio all make very nice 500 to 1000 watt amps.

What year is this being installed into?

04 coupe. And I don't think i wont be wanting any MANY power since im more for SQ. But what about the flat top sub box accepting the stock cover withtout the sub rubbers hitting on it tho?

the cover will have to go or it will lower the output of the sub and rattle. It will sound like a big pile of crap

aw hehe it was too good to be true I guess. I wonder how much people charge for a grill to be go over the sub so that the trunk space still can be used for groceries and stuff.

The JL500/5 is a nice amp, but not enough power for the sub channel.
PG makes nice amps as well, but I am not familiar with the model you mentioned.
