Plate Amp Question

rklein · 11th February 2010, 08:17 PM

Hi:

I have an older NHT sub that came with an outboard amp(rated at 80 watts) which I inadvertantly fried some years ago. The sub has been sitting for about 5 years in a closet and I want to purchase a plate amp so I can get it up an running for my son. Just looking for a couple of recommendations in regards to whether to buy a Dayton plate amp rated at 240 watts(on sale for $109) or a M&K plate amp rated at 150 watts($99).

Thanks for any responses.

Either should be fine. How have you stored the driver? Five years is a long time if it's been sitting face down.
