I have a 2 cu. ft. ported box in the trunk with a 12" alpine type-r in it. I want to keep this box so do you think it will be a good size for the type-x? The amp is an alpine mrp-m500 wired up to 4 ohms since the sub is 4 ohms also. So im pretty sure im using 300watt rms. This is my question. Im thinking about switching my sub and amp setup for more bass and i can get an alpine type-x 12" for a pretty decent price. I know i want to do that sub but im just not sure on the amp. Im trying to decide between the alpine pdx1000 which is 1000watt rms at 4 ohms, and 1000watts at 2 ohms. The type-x only comes in 4 ohm though right?
