Good amp?
http://www.amazon.com/SONY-XM-2200GTX-XPLOD-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B0001YEYKM
Just wondering..I want to use this to power a single Infinity Kappa 12.1 (350RMS-1400MAX)
Im looking for good quality over pounding bass.
What would this thing be like on my battery? Would I need a cap?
Thanks guys

What makes you like that amp? I think we could find you something nicer in the same ballpark as that price. If you're worried about what the amp is going to do to your charging system then maybe you should look into some D class amps.

Im currently looking at a kicker 600.1
My subs are 4ohm only btw

What, a class d is better for your charging system? No soup for you!
You need to know if your sub is a single or dual voice coil model first. Then you need to think if you are going to be adding a second identical sub into the mix sometime down the road. Then purchase the amp that matches what you want to do with the system now and in the future.

1000w of input power is 1000w of input power regardless of the class of amp. 14.4 volts and 1000w of input power = 69.4 amps no matter what the amp is. The type of amp topology then determines how much of that 1000w of input power makes it to the speaker.

Best thing you can do to make the amp work properly is to deliver the current as efficently as possible. If the amp has to work to get power, it has to work to make power. Do a search on the Big 3 and consider running a 4 gauge power / ground line.

This is the flip side to the equation, measured output power and amp topology. You also need to consider the type of power supply in the amp, regulated, non regulated. On paper all things equal is one thing, in practical applications is something different altogether. Most people never consider both sides of the equation and are not even aware of half of what is really happening with any given amp. In the days before class D, we all had class AB amps. If you are operating under full load continous and drawing large amounts of current it may be beneficial. But in real world conditions, it is not that large of a difference at all.
The big difference is amp size, it can now be smaller as there is nowhere near as much heat being produced in a class D vs. a class AB vs. a class A. Class D is a better use of the available power and that is how it needs to be considered.
