I'm looking at powering some Alpine Type-R SWR-1042D, they are rated at 500watt RMS. I'm looking at the Alpine MRD-M1005 which is rated at Per channel into 4 ohms : 500W x 1.
I have seen some companies selling the smaller amp with this type-R sub, and using the bigger amp for the type-X subs. But basically wondering what I should do.

Sorry the small amp I was referring to is the MRD-M605.
lets not talk about budget, lol, cause i know right now im looking at running 4 of these subs and 4 of those M1005 amps for each sub..and these amps aren't cheap.....I just want to make sure I do it right the first time that way I don't regret or want to redo something in the future. Also what would be different if I went with there 2ohm subs over the 4ohm subs, would I be able to run 2 subs off of 1 M1005 amp with a 2ohm load or what. Sorry I am very bad with this ohm rating, but just want to know exactly what my options are and how they would effect performance. Thanks again.
if you dont want to redo something in future.. your arent going to want type r's.. seriously, whats your budget? if its not a factor, let us help ya get a system that will blow 4 type r's out the window. what kinda vehicle is the system going in? btw, register plz

2003 chevy silverado, fully custom truck, going to build a fiberglass enclosure under the back seat to hold 4 10" woofers and mount the amps on the ceiling...mounting depth is a problem, these type r's will barely fit. budget...well like I said I really dont have a budget, but I'm getting deals on these type r's basically 3 for free, and can get good deals on the smaller alpine MRD-M605 amp. my buddy had 3 JL10W7 in his truck, and he said 4 of these type r's will blow my mind....so whats the difference between running these at 4 or 2 ohm load...thx
