Purchased a SVS CS-ULTRA off ebay and need some recommendations on what size, brand, model # of amp to run this with. I would like to get the most out of the sub without spending an **** load of cash.
I use my system mainly for ht and sometimes music at high volume.
looking to spend under $350 in the used market. Amp needs to be fairly compact and quiet running if cooling fan equipped. I’ll be feeding the amp with the sub out on a denon 3803. Not sure on what features the amp needs to have, so some input on this would be greatly appreciated also.

Thanks,
G

    Anything with 500 watts into 4 ohms should do the trick.

    Samson S1000 (SVS sells this B-stock for about $350 IIRC)
    QSC RMX series at Power Alley

    If you will be pushing it hard, look at the SVS01 Marchand Bass Box for the infrasonic filters to protect the woofer from over-excursion from spurious infrasonic content.
