How many watts is the amp? Sub? You could get a bigger amp, or if the one you haveis say... an 800W amp and your sub is 400W You would be all set cuz it would get 400W. And you could even add another 8-ohm sub and each would still get 400W.

Even if that doesnt work out, why don't you just get a different sub instead of a different amp? Subs are a lot cheaper than amps are.
