So i have an alpine type R 12", rated at 600wRms. It is the dual 4 ohm version so i need an amp around 600wRms at 2 ohms. I am stuck between two, one is the Alpine MRX-M50, rated at 500watt at 2ohms. And the other is a Kicker EX1000.1 rated at 700watt rms. They are both the same price. I want to know if its gonna be safe to get the Kicker and power it a 700wRms. People claim they power their R's over 700wRms all the time, but could be bs. The sub is going in a ported enclosure 2cubic ft at 32hz. Even know the kicker is more powerful, is it still a good amp?
