What amplifier is best to power a 12" Alpine Type-R Sub?

 

Price range? Is it a DVC? do you want a class d (effiecient) ? Amp or does it matter?

I want to spend as little as possible without sacraficing safety or too much performance.
New Or Used Amp.
Yes it is DVC.

still doesn't help too much. give us an actual number.

 

i use an Alpine MRD-m500 v12 amp...@ 2 ohms, 500 watts RMS x 1 and 900 watts max x 1

 

mtx thunder801d is a badass amp for that sub as well.. im sure there is better but for the money you can beat it.. ive heard this amp and sub together and it sounded very clean...

 

Umm...I know nothing about amps so I don't want to sound cheap but I want to spend between $100-130 new or used.

 

The old Alpine MRV 1005 is a great amp, you could probably pick one up pretty cheap second hand

 

Is it a DVC and what ohm's is it? If its a 2 ohm DVC then you'll need a amp that'll put out about 400watts rms at either 1 or 4 ohms. If its a 4 ohm DVC, you'll need a amp thats rated at 2 or 8 ohms. 2 and 1 ohm amps draw more current from your battery so most likely they'll be Class D amps and require heavy gauge cabling. The Alpine MRD-500 is great at 2 ohms.

 

I will second the suggestion that you get the 801D for the Type R, that combo sounds damn nice together, although with your price range of 100-130 for an amp that needs to put out at least 300WRMS will be hard to come by...

 

jbl 600.1

us acoustics make very good amps and thier ratings are all at 12.9 volts whereas most amps are rated at 14.4
