New member Username: Gboo559Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-09 | I am looking forward to buying 1 12" Alpine Type R. It's gonna be in a 2.0cu/ft. box tuned to 32-35hz. I'm not too good with amps but have a small list of what I might get. Any help on which one is the best? Alpine MRP M650 600w RMS x 1 at 2 ohms http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6471_Alpine+MRP-M650.html Alpine MRP M500 500w RMS x 1 at 2 ohms http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12018_Alpine+MRP-M500.html and both the Alpines have 2 30A fuses so shouldn't they put out the same power? MB Quart DSC 1000.1 500w RMS x1 at 2 ohms http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13492_MB+Quart+DSC+1000.1.html are the MB quarts underrated because they have 2 60A fuses and say they only put out 1000W at 1 ohm |
