Wonder how well these items will mate up ?

Will the RE SE12 sound good with the Alpine MRP-500?

Thanks guys!

Not bad, would like more power though...

I personally would throw a little more power at it, but to each his own. What type of box?

It will work, but as others said this thing really needs more power. I would say at least 750 watts. That is what I am running and even then it does not seem like enough.

it will go in a ported box...so u guys recommend the 750....i think i might just wait and get the 750

I'm guessing the sub is a dual 4 ohm? Alpine MRP-M650/850 would work, or kicker zx750.1. Just make sure the power is clean and should be nice.

I have run mine on 750 daily with no problems. I even did 900 on one for a few days and it lived, so that should tell you how much more they like //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...

When you guys say a sub will take X amount of power, do you mean x amount of power coming out of the amp tuned via dmm or THAT actual amount of power?

because when i tune things its by actual power. If you tune your amp for 700w with a 50hz -3db tone even, it will only play 500w on songs max. Unless you find a song recorded at 0db.

So when you say you gave a RE SE 900w for a few days do you really mean it played at like 600w?

hahah nice catch there..

Even if you play a test tone at -3db for tuning is all your music at -3db? probably not. you probably make a few adjustments on the HU for bass and then your going over your rated tuned amount.
