What amp do you guys suggest?

[BloodyDischarge]

I'm lookin at 2 Alpine Type-X subs. I don't know too much so I would appreciate your opinions. Here are the speaker stats:

12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils

carbon fiber/aluminum honeycomb cone with high-roll Santoprene rubber surround

cast aluminum frame

frequency response: 23-200 Hz

power range: 500-1,000 watts RMS (500 watts per coil)

peak power handling: 3,000 watts

sensitivity: 83 dB

Now I know nothing about amps (meaing channels, ohms. and such). I'm currently looking at the MA Audio HK4000D but don't know if this will be a mistake or not. I wan't to be able to power these subs fully. Here are the stats for that amp:

4000W Digital Class X Competition mono block amplifier

1800W x 1 at 4 ohm (14.4V)

3600W x 1 at 2 ohm (14.4V)

2000W x 1 at 4 ohm (17V)

4000W x 1 at 2 ohm (17V)

Temperature, voltage, output level LCD display

Thermal/short/overload protection circuitry

Platinum-plated screw type RCA jacks

Double-sided black epoxy PCB board

Platinum-plated block terminals

Fully unregulated power supply

Stainless steel finish heat sink

Quiet fan cooling system

Remote gain control

Full MOSFET circuitry

10-350Hz frequency response

Variable 0-18dB bass boost control at 45Hz

Amp preamp outputs

Built-in crossover

That amp would work, but is a current hog.

How is your electrical?

I would suggest doing an electrical upgrade like upgrading the Big 3 if you plan on that type of power. What type of ride do you have?

what kind of budget do you have to work with?

Im gonna guess you will run this at 4ohms? Cuz 2 would be overkill unless you have 3 or more subs..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif(u might get a 3rd or 4th sub later if what im saying)

Bri - Pretty much limitless.
