Right now I am powering this with an older JVC Prologic Receiver rated at 105w per channel from (40hz-20,000), so I suspect it is more like 75-80w over the full frequency response. I am unable to play it as loud as I would like without clipping from the receiver. I am looking to upgrade the amp in the next few months and am looking at two options, but am open to other suggestions.
Option 1 - Samsom S700 about $300 b-stock from SVS
Option 2 - Parts Express subwoofer amp $120-130

The downside to the parts express amp is I guess I would have to build some type of enclosure for it, but it does have a rumble filter, phase control and crossover. It also has less power (250 vs 300) and a higher distortion level.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
