Hi, I was planning on getting a sub/amp system for my car.
Currently I am thinking: 2 Alpine Type-R 12" 2ohm DVC Alpine MRD-M1005 Amplifier Q-logic dual sub sealed/ported enclosure
Is the M1005 powerful enough to really get great sound out of the two 2005 Type-R's? The type R's are rated: 200-500W RMS on Crutchfield 500W RMS on Alpine's USA Site but I have also heard that it is 500w per coil, RMS 500-1000 watts total.
Anyone have any comments or suggestions? I'd love to hear em. I was planning on getting one amp to hook up the two 2ohm DVC subs getting a 2 ohm load, however I have not purchased anything so i can entertain getting the 4ohm DVC and two amps if the price is still resonable.
My price range is basically $800USD, but i'd like to keep it down as much as possible.. spending less then 400 on the amp, 130~ per sub , 100 on the box, 70~ on wiring. The more money i have left over the more I have to upgrade my headunit and get an amp for my speakers.
Thanks

They say at 2 ohms it only puts out 750watts. Is this at 12volts or 14.4volts? I could of course just get two 4ohm DVC and wire it do there is a 1ohm load.
Anyway.. MRD-M1005 Specifications: RMS Power (at 12V,20Hz-200Hz) * Per channel into 2 ohms : 700W x 1 * Per channel into 4 ohms : 500W x 1
RMS Power (at 14.4V,20Hz-200Hz) * Per channel into 2 ohms : 1000W x 1 (1% THD)
Wiring the two subs in parralel and the voice coils in series would produce a 2ohm load, and get me that 1000 watts.
Is 1000 watts enough, or is that just the bare minimum for two of the new (2005) 12" Type R's 1242D / 1222D ?
