two alpine type r 12's. Should i get 2 ohm speaker or 4 ohm? Does it even matter?

Alpine mrp-m1000 amp (if i get 2 ohm subs).

Subwoofer enclosure.

Sonic Sub Boxes 2SV12-BLACK Dual 12" Vented MDF Enclosure

Will all this sound good? Is it the best i could get 600-650 dollars?

Will this be a big improvement from my current 12 inch kicker cvr in a ported box and kenwood kac-7205 amp? Lol thanks to any one answers all my questions

No no and no lol. Enclosures are the most important part of a system, spending $40 on some prefab box is not worth it at all because it will sound like trash. PM pro-rabbit and have him make you a custom box fit to spec of the subs you want to get.

For an amp I would get something like this that puts out more power than the alpine and costs about half the price: MB QUART ONX1.1500D 1500W Mono D Amplifier : ONX11500D : $178.95 : VMInnovations.com

As for subs it comes down to what kind of music you listen to and what you're expecting out of your system

Well that amp puts out the same watts as the alpine i beleive. 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms. I really like the price but iv'e never heard of the brand. Probably pick that up instead just for price. But how much would a custom box cost if i pm'ed him?
