Default amp suggestions?

I just bought the MTX stealth box, that came with the MTX Thunder4500 subwoofer. the subwoofer is rated at 225 rms. The company recomends a 50-200 watt amp. Can you please tell me what you have in your car? I was wondering if there are any suggestions on what to buy, or would work well? Thanks

a JL 250/1 would be great !!

I'm running an Alpine MRP-M350 to feed my JL 10W3V2 and it's awesome!..

Both GREAT amps!! However, they're both under-rated in terms of power..
