MRD-M501 or KX400.1 or P6001

[dimi 10+ year member]

Im stuck picking between 3 amps for my system: Alpine MRD-M501, Rockford P6001, Kicker 400.1 .the alpine and rockford are about the same price, kicker is cheaper. Which one would satisfy 2 10" Type R's to the best. These are the amps in my price range that my dealer provides. Is there any other amps that would also do a good job in this category of output and price. Any input is greately appreciated.

thx for the help. I think Ill go with the alpine. Are those Type R's gonna sound decent with 225 RMS each @ 2 ohm, or is more power required, asuming I am looking for decent SPL and SQ. thx again

225w wont give you SPL but it will give you nice SQ.

you need more power ! get the RF

thx, well i guess the RF is an option too even tho I preferedd to keep it all alpine.

alpine dosent make powerful amps, thats what they need to make.

a MRD M1001 would be a better amp.It probably costs a pretty penny though

That was the set up I was going to go with...I was told they are a perfect match.

MRD-M501 = 2-12" Type-S 1242D
