What amp for 12" Type X?

[chay03 10+ year member]

It would go into a 2 cube 32Hz box. SIngle 12 type x

Looking at:

Alpine MRP-m1000

ZX1000.1

RSD1200.1

BXI2006

Trying to keep cost down under 3 bills.

Looking for good upgrade to my 1-12" Type R with ZX750.1. And Hopefully a noticeable difference. I mostly listen to hop hop-lots of bass.

thanks

id go with the alpine amp or the kicker zx10001. both are great amps but i doubt you will find either of them for under 300 even used they will be somewhere around there.

Well for the ZX1000, I missed out on 2 easy ebay auctions because I hesitated. 1 went for 180 and the other for 155.

I was thinking kicker as well if had to spend 2-300 but I see the 1550W clarion is on sale at crutchfield for 199. I just dont think my electrical can handle that.

So now im torn about gettieng a 12 type x in 2cube ported box or 15 CVX in a 3 cube box. I still plan to push it with 1000rms. I figure pricewise their about the same.

The type X 12 gets loud too...just installed on to off the alpine 1000 watt mono and it slamed in that civic..I'd do it over he kicker 15 for a few reasons....room and the alpines better built for sure. You will need a amp that's got good power @ 2 ohm mono that subs just 4+4 dvc.

pdx 1.1000. have mine in 2.5 @ 34 and love every minute of it.

I'm all confused now. I been shopping around and dont know what to do.

I have an 05 corolla and I at least want sometrunk space being that I have some kids. My current box is 26"14"x13" with a 1.5"wide port. I really dont know what the tuning is but it sounds good with my 12 dual 4 type R on my ZX750.1.

Im just tired of it and want more without getting rediculous with the electrical and the box.

I'm set on the Zx1000.1 just cuz I have my remote gain wired up nicely and figure I could sell my old amp with the remote that comes with the 1000.

The PDX1000.1 is a little too much money.

The RSD1200.1 is also another amp I may consider if I can't find a deal on the kicker.

The sub options I referenced are a 15" type R in 3-3.5cf, a 15 CVX in 3.5cf, and 12" type X in 2.3cf@32hz.

type x 12 isn't gonna be that much louder than the current setup you have, may even be less loud since the type x is an sq sub.

you may wanna do 2 12's sealed instead or 2 10's ported. Or a bigger box for your type R

imo type x over type r any day no matter how you look at it great sq and get loud...one of my buddies had 4 type r 12s and 2 pdx 1000.1...my setup was 3 type x 12s with 3 mrd-m1005...he couldnt even touch me on the TL...i know a lot of it is in install and what not but i say go with the type x and i always reccomend the mrd-m1005 there is even one in the classifieds

you had more power than he did, you shoulda been louder. His type r's probably weren't even close to full excursion

get another type r and do a sealed box since you want room.

actually if i was this dude i would keep the amp you got and just go to a type r 15

type r 15 ported would take alot of space and one sealed would take up as much space as 2 12's with less cone area

I originally had 2 type r 12's dual 2's in cheap Xscorpion box bought for 200. They sounded so muddy compared to the 1-12 R i have now. I'm a little reluctant to go back to the dual 12's. I dont know.

Ya, I am thinking 1 15 type r then later bump the amp.

After reading alot here, on paper the MRD-1000 may not be as strong as the kicker or PG. It still only asking for 80 amps like the ZX750. The PG=120A and ZX1000=100A. I dont know if that's a misconception but I dont think my electrical could handle more than 1200rms before adding a second battery and alternator. Most Kicker birthsheets are 11-1400. mine is 928rms. Alpine specs 1000@2ohms 14.4. Do our cars really get to 14.4? Im not confident with that spec.
