Yeah you're probably right...if I end up moving that subwoofer to the FR-S I'm going to get a correct amplifier and a better box, the truck box it's in right now isn't optimal Audio stuff like this confuses me, especially after my experience with my first amp (sony xplod 600w amp btw, piece of crap). I feel like a 250 watt amplifier (according to specs the top RMS is 250) wouldn't even move the sub enough to hear it. Anyway, in response to OP you should check around your local audio shops, sometimes they'll be able to get good brands for cheaper than online.
