Need Help On Choosing an amp.

[Josh923]

Okay well, let me start by saying I have around $700 to spend. I want two alpine type r's, which will cost be about $250. I also have to buy the wiring which is about another 30 dollars. That puts me at 430 dollars. Im making my own box, but lets say supplies for it will cost $30, now I'm at 400. I'm getting it all installed for 100, putting me at $300. Can anyone give me the names of any amp that you would recommend for the two type r's? Like I said, I'll be down to about 300 dollars to spend on one, so please keep that in mind. In short, tell me what amp you would most reccomend to me. Thanks.

I know, and I can't decide which one I should buy, thats why I asked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

I was looking pretty strongly on the alpine m1000's? Whats you guy's opinion on that?

yes sir two 12s

Alright, well if you say the hifonics 1608d would work, then I'll most likely buy that. And I would have them wired to 2 ohms right?

If you can build a box, you should be able to install it yourself and save some $$$.

if your getting the dual fours which the model number you posted above says so, you can wire the pair to 1 ohm or 4 ohm. so you should wire them to 1 ohm.

Edit.

Should I get the model SWR-122D instead? Its cheaper, and is a 2-ohm wire instead of a 4.

if you go with a pair of dual 2 ohm subs you need an amp that will put out the power you want at 2 ohm. if you go with a pair of dual 4 ohm subs you need an amp that will put out the power you want a 1 ohm. so its just to give you more wiring options.
