Hey, sorry for a noob question, but do you guys know what kind of amp I need if I have 2 12'' Type-R's? Thanks in advance...

 

C'mon...I know some of you guys out there are audiophiles. Obviously im not. Lol And I need help...

 

look into the alpine v12 amp.

 

damn, those are expensive bro...Thanks for the input...

 

You didn't say what 12" type Rs you have, but all but the 15" are 500W RMS and 1500W peak You should be looking at a 1000W RMS mono block sub amp, you didn't give us a budget so here is one that would work real good http://mobile.jlaudio.com/prod...d=221 and here are a bunch of cheaper ones http://search.ebay.com/search/...earch 94

 

Thanks...Sorry, forgot to give budget. But whatever works good im in for it...

 

honestly man the way it sounds best iz if u keep the cd player amp and subs the same brand. so try to get all alpine **** and a high amperage 2 channel amp for your subs.

Good Luck

 

Unfortunately Alpine does not have a 2ch amp that will work, not enough power, and non of Alpines 2/4/5 ch amps are stable @ 2ohms when bridged, the only amp Alpine has that will work, [and it is the best Alpine for the job] is the MRD-M1005, 1000W at 14.4V into 2ohms. MSRP $600 USF 94

Wow...I guess if it works im gonna have to go with it. But wouldn't it sound better or the same if I go with a JL amp? or any other amp that would work? Thanks again...

 

you dont need to keep it all the same brand. if your subs are dual 4 ohm voice coils you can wire them all up in parallel for a 1 ohm load and connect it to this amp http://cgi.ebay.com/ORION-1200...wItem they will both get 600 watts.

That said, there are other amps out there that will do the job, with sub bass you don't need to put as much emphases on how "clean" the amp is as you would with a high-pass amp.
Now with that said, you will always be better off with a good brand name amp, there is nothing that can replace quality. 94
