Power to Alpine SWR-1221D

[MeteorShower 10+ year member]

Hello all out there in car audio forum land. Had a question for those of you

familair with the Alpine SWR-1221D's (Alpine Type R 12" 2 Ohm Subwoofer).

For my upcoming system I decided to go with the Alpine Type R's and was

wondering what you consider to be a little overkill as far as powering them

goes.

I currently have a Lightning Audio S1.1000d amp which puts out 1000x1@ 2 ohms.

From what I've read the Alpine's are rated at ~300 watts RMS. Now, I'm not a volume

master and I understand how to "tune" a system but I'm still gaining familarity with

all products.

Thanks in Advance for your help!
