I am in the process of buying a new system and was wondering how powerful of an amp should I need to power two Alpine Type R SWR-1242d's 4 ohm

Max RMS Power capacity is 500w and Peak power capacity is 1500w

ya 1000 is a good point, depends on your amp tho. Some amps do rated, some under and some over. Many people say theyve put more like the 1500 side and had no problems but if you dont tune it right you could damage the subs.
