i dont know to much about amps so could someone help me out on what kind of amp i should get. im gonna be pushing two alpine 10" type R subs. heres the specs

Impedance 2 + 2 Ohms

Dual Voice Coil:

Power Handling: 500 watts RMS, 1500 watts peak

i dont know if i need a dual channel amp or a mono or what. im looking to spend between 300-400 dollars on an amp. i know a guy who has a Alpine MRD-M1000 for sale for 400$. 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms :1000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. would this amp work good? i was also looking at the rockford fosgate P8002 which is 200wattsx2 at 4 ohms RMS, 400wattsx2 at 2ohms RMS, 800 wattsx1 at 4 ohms bridged RMS.? any suggestions? thanx

Look, if you guys want to sell him an amp, SEND HIM A PM. This isnt the ****ing classifieds.

Take a look at the ED 9.1 Fits your budget at $350, comes with a three year warranty, and will give you the power you need now, with headroom for a future upgrade when the time comes.

Avoid that audiobahn amp, I didnt look at the link, but hes put that up in numerous threads.
