What sub/amp is better for me

[steveravenscrof 10+ year member]

I've been away for a while and it shows. For a start I listen to rock,metal,country, and classic rock. I am sold on a single type R Alpine in a seald box. But which one ? dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm. I'll either run the MRP-M500/300rms x 1 @ 4ohm / 500 rms x 1 @ 2 ohm. Or the MRP- M1000 amp. I really don't know which set up would give me my best bag for the buck. I just want as solid of bass (punch) as I can get. Nothing loose sounding. In either case do you think the MRP 1000 would be over kill for a single 12 ?

Thanks Steve

dual 4 type r and the mrp-m500, but there is so much more out there these days to consider

The latest version of the Type R is really not a sealed driver.

If you want something that sounds decent, I can think of others I'd choose first...like a CSS SDX12, or Fi SSD...
