2 Rockford Fosgate 12" HE2 subs + Rockford Fosgate 501bd 500 watt mono amp

2 Audiobahn 12" Excursion Suds + Audiobahn 800 watt mono amp

2 Kicker Comp VR 12" subs + Kicker 600.1 Amp

2 Jl Audio 12 W0's Subs + Jl Audio e1200 Amp

2 Alpine 12" Type R Subs + Alpine 200 watt mono amp

theses are some of the systems im trying to decide on. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif what do you guyz think? itz it true that when the subs and the amp are made by the same company they sound better together than combing different companies together?

Kickers.

Makes no diff if there mix and matched.

Most Car Audio people have many diff brands in there vehicles

I'd go with the Alpine subs and the kicker or Fosgate amp.

supa is right, mixing brands of amps and subs makes no difference. In fact many people argue no company makes the best amp AND sub so its better to mix and match. That's personal preference though.

Kicker Comp Vr's and Kicker 600.1

Or maybe a Digital Designs 3512 and a 1000 watt amp of your choice(Just a suggestion)

i say the rockfords. I have had every one above except the 2 Audiobahn 12" Excursion Suds. The alpines will be very very under powered with 200 watts. If you are getting the 12's you need atleast 500 watts per drivers. I fed 1 12" type r 650-700 and it loved in it a ported box. The alpines will get as loud as the HE2's but sound better.

what would be a good combo for an amp and a set of 12" subs with a rms of about 400 watts? the alpine amp is a 500 watt mono amp mis type
