Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 13:42 GMT My brother owns the mtx ta 4501 its a solid amp and is under rated the true rated power is 600 watts rms...that will drive the alpine type r 12 just fine...the mtx ta 3202 is ok if you dont want to spend more...but if it was me id upgrade the power a bit for the components to a mtx ta 5302 at 75 rms at 4 ohms per channel for an extra 40 dollars...heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/MTX-THUNDER-TA5302-300-WATT-2-CHANNEL-AMP-5302-05-NEW_W0QQitemZ300205761160QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39732QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thursday, March 13, 2008 - 01:29 GMT "Paul is that your new equipment???!" Yeah. I'm having a slight problem though. I'm thinking about leasing a new truck and don't know if I wanna install it in a leased ride. Got the box built and all as well. Sorry for the thread jack Adam.
