uh oh.

before i start, i want you to know you have a hell of a subwoofer. its not your average best buy special. its going to take alot of time, money, and effort to get it loud.

okay, what car is this going in? and how much are you willing to spend on an amp, wiring, batteries, and such.

that woofer can take upwards of 2000rms and your going to need some elctrical upgrades to back up that power. and its not going to come cheap. if you want to properly power this woofer and get loud, expect to spend close to $1000 on equipment

I have the wiring.

...I bought it cause new it cost about $700 but I got the sub and wires for $400.
So what exactly do I need to get this up and running? How much should I be expecting to pay for each item? And any suggestions on which products to buy? Minimal requirements for as cheap as possible.

Also I don't have to get a header do I? My brother has a amp, and sub without a header. Would I be able to do the same thing?

A little overzealous on the wattage claim to start with, coupled with absolutely zero warranty in Canada. With the US-CDN $ difference, shipping charges, brokerage fees etc. that deal is going to evaporate really quick.

I know I sent you a PM on a top end Macrom that is selling waaaaaaay below dealer cost. It is all about your budget really. It is what you want in the long run that is important. You have a great sub, now give it the respect that it deserves. Here is a link to the amp on the italian site.
