Will this work?

[nrl51]

Hey,

I'm pretty new to car audio systems. I recently ordered two Alpine SWR-1022D type R 10" subs. However I'm wondering if my old amplifier will power them. I have an older model pioneer amp. It is GM-7100M 800 watt amp. Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated! If this will not work I was leaning toward getting the Alpine MRP-M1000 1000 watt amp. Good choice or not?

Any amp will *work* for the most part. It really depends on what you want for results.

So, yes it will work but if you have the $$$, the MRP-1000 is a MUCH better choice.

well first of all you are talking two different languages. that pioneer is 360 rms watts peak 800, which doesnt mean a single thing and its lowest impedence is 2 ohms an alpine mrp 1000 is 1000 rms watts @ 2 ohms and those subs are svc 2 ohms i think so you cant wire them to 2 ohms.

With 2 of those subs you can wire for .5 ohm, 2ohm, or8 ohm so u would need an amp that can do 1000w at .5 or 2 ohm

Just wondering, is english your first language? That made my brain hurt trying to read that.

The Type-r's the OP listed are actually DVC 2ohm subs. Your main wiring option is 2 ohms final load, so you should try and find an amp that is about 1000w RMS at 2 ohms.

Depending where it ends that JBL BP1200.1 would be a perfect amp for your subs. The JBL GTO1201.1 is supposed to be a hell of an amp as well. The Alpine would fit as well.

Thanks guys... you are really helping out a lot! I bought that old pioneer back in my high school days before I knew better

the spec sheet that google popped up said svc 2 ohm. I speak better English than you I just went back and haphazardly edited a few spots in the aforementioned post.

if u need a 1000 rms at 2 ohms u can get a audiopipe 1800d.

I just placed a bid on the JBL

id wait on that jbl last minute then buy it, u will never find that amp brand new like that again and the great thing is it is 1 and 2 ohm stable, so if u decide 2 change subs your not stucka t max power at one load.

Anyone have any experience with this amp Kenwood KAC-9105D? In case I don't end up getting the JBL would this be a good choice?
