I currently have a Alpine CDA-7977 HU with a Sony Xplod 800w amp powering my stock speakers. SQ is amazing with this setup so far.
I was planning getting 2 12" Alpine Type R's. How much wattage would I need to power these subs sufficiently? Sorry, I don't know much about systems but my friends have been saying that Class D amps are the way to go for subs, so what exactly does class d stand for? From what I heard, it's a 1-channel amp where you split the wires to power the subs. I would prefer an Alpine amp (if you haven't noticed already) but I'm not sure if they have what I'm looking for/need.
