A couple weeks ago i purchased one 8" subwoofer box from a member on are boards

now i want to get a Rockford Fosgate P1S48 (Punch Stage 1 8" 4-ohm subwoofer)...

it says that it has "power range: 50-150 watts RMS (300 watts peak power),"

I dont know what type of amp to get or do i even need a cap...

I do have a Sony Xpod radio and it comes with the output for the sub...

Also I now that I am going to get the question 8" sub why so small...here is the answer...

this is my daily driver, plus i live in military housing, and i have a 18 month old son, he is always in the car...i just want a little more...

Plus I want a better Ipod adaptor for the radio then my FM transmittor...

Can my I.C.E expects help out a fellow member...

250w Wal-Mart Sony Xplode should work fine. I was powering a 10" Rockford with one for a bit. Not a true 250w, but it was bumping just fine. Less than 100$

x2 on that the sony amps at walmart will power it just fine, I'm about 98% sure the 250w sony wouldn't blow it because it's probably only putting ~75-100w RMS to it, if that.

^^ Very true. You might also look into the Dual 4 channel the sell, amp some other speakers with it and you will get your fix wink1.gif

may have to go to walmart today and see whats up...

also my radio does have 3 pre outs...so i can hook up ipod adaptor, amp, and subwoofer...it also has the capability to control the volume of the sub as well...

edit...do you guys think i need a cap or should i be fine without it

You should be fine without it.

I'm running 2 Alpine PDX 1.1000s......No Cap...But I do have Kinetik battery...
