Your right with a $150 amp....

You could run one channel to each voice coil but there isn't really a reason to do that. All you need is a mono amp to push that sub, but you could get a 2 channel amp and bridge it.
wont any mono amp put the swr-1021d at 1 ohm and not be stable because its a daul 2ohm? so i thought a 2 channel would be 2ohms to each of the hookups on the sub?

The amp doesn't put the speaker at 1 ohm, it's the other way around. Depending on how you wire the speaker. Some amps are stable to 1 Ohm. That Alpine isn't. You could find one that is but if you want a decent set up for your budget, I still say order the amp and speaker set up I suggested.

so matt
with your setup up ....does the total watts come to 300 ?

[Phat Matt]

Actually it comes to 350W x 1 RMS (2ohm @ 14.4V).

thanks alot for your help matt....one last question....can you control the subs bass on any headunit you buy or does it have to be the same as the amp?

[Phat Matt]

If you want to control the sub by itself you need a head unit with RCA sub outs. It doesn't matter who makes it. Most new head units today have RCA outs for front, rear, and sub.
