Need amp for NST SW3s

[rolyasm]

I'm a little confused between the SW3s and SW3p, but I have the S version. It is passive, and the SWp apparently had an amp that matched it with custom crossovers and such to work together. The recommended amp is the SA-3, and the only one I see listed online is around $400. It outputs 250 watts, so quite a bit. Hoping to find something in the $200 range that would have enough power and have the ability to set crossover and such, since the sub is passive and has no onboard controls. Any thoughts?

What is your system? If you are driving this sub from a receiver, then any 250 watt amp into 6 ohms, or more will do the job. Both AVRs and AVPs have crossovers. If your driving unit does not have a crossover, then you will need an external active crossover or a plate amp that has a crossover. If you use a plate amp, then you will have to cut the right sized hole in the sub to take the plate amp.

Any suggestions on a good amp around $200 or less?

You mean NHT rather than NST? Under $200 for an amp could be tough, but depends how much power you want. Maybe something like a Fosi V3.

No. What is the rest of your equipment? We have no idea what you have or even if you have a clue what you are doing.
