How about a single R300? You could run the 5 1/4's off of chanels 1-2, the sub off of bridged channels 3-4 and use the headunit for rear fill. You'll save a few bucks and simplify your installation. If you later find you want to expand your system say...adding an additional sub and a dedicated mono amp like the R500.1, you can use the R300 to run your 5 1/4's and 6x9's.

punch is the better product line. prime is geared for budget people.
if ur going with 1 amp i would suggest punch. if u want u would probably be fine with prime amp for the 6x9s and 5 1/4 then get a punch to make the sub sound best.
how much power are u needing total for it all? im sure we can find something else to power it all for fair price.

If I use 2 channels for a couple components, then 2 bridged for the sub, what kind of power are we talking? I mean I could get a lower rated sub to have decent sound.
I thought about a Fosgate R150 for the 4 components, then getting a Fosgate Prime R250 mono amp for the sub but a buddy of mine said that mono amp was no good, not sure if that is true.

Polk MM for SQ decent output
jl w3 for SQ with better output but imo wont have as good of SQ as the polk, but to be fair ive never heard w3 only w1
if u can afford it i would get a little better amp and go with polk mm1240 or mm1540 for a single sub setup. both want 425watts rms so just a bump above ur 300watts rms u got
The type R will have only decent SQ but will be the loudest of those choices if given proper power and in the right box

Would a Punch 300.1 or R500 power 1 12" Type R well enough?
I could get an Alpine MRP-M500 but it would cost me $30.00 more that the Punch 300.1

A type R needs at least 500 watts rms to sound good, they like to be ran at 700 or so

What Rockford can put that much power out to 1 sub?
that R500 you listed would work fine as long as you got a dual 4ohm sub

OK thanks, I thought most things I read rated the Punch 300 at a lot more output than the R500.
well the punch is only rated at 300 rms @ 2 ohms and the r500 is rated at 500@ 2 ohms, so it has more output but the Punch is a higher series in Rockford's line so is probably a bettter amp but doesn't have the power you need if you want to run a type R

OK, if my heart is set on 1 12" Alpine Type R, what are you thoughts of running a RF Power T600 at it.
I just read that some were getting close to 800 W mono out of it. Would this damage the Type R or slam it?
I can get a new one for $210.00 that is why I am asking.
