type R but what amp???

motocross · Oct 28, 2007

ok my christmas present this year is a 12" alpine type R in a ported enclosure but i have to buy the amp, i will need a amp with a good 500rms so i want to spend about $120 on it so it will probly be off ebay. what kinda should i get since i dont want to drop big money on one just so it will get stolen. is kenwood or boss or something good enough or maybe a audiobahn amp, i no these companys will have way overrated stuff but i just dont no what amp to get, i dont want rockford or something thats going to cost my $400. thanks

Pioneer/ Premier... Audiobahn I think discontinued it's car audio.

800w amp should be plenty.

800 is minimum I would run on that sub. The 500 watt rating is a joke IMHO...

i found the Rockford Fosgate Power T5001bd on amazon(when you look on amazon make sure to check the prices from all sellers) for $179.99 + $22.84s/h

Rated Power
continuous power

125W x 1 @ 4-Ohms
250W x 1 @ 2-Ohms
500W x 1 @ 1-Ohm

Average Actual Power

412 X 1 @ 4ohm
628 X 1 @ 2ohm
927 X 1 @ 1ohm

i dont know much about car audio so im not sure if this is what your looking for

I would suggest spend a little more money and get a good name brand. Dont cheap out on an amp. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ALPINE-MRP-M850-MONO-BLOCK-POWER-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitemZ260174124239QQihZ016QQcategoryZ64570QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thats a good deal there.

I have 2-10"DVC Alpine Type R's and I run a fosgate amp to them. These subs are power hungry man, but they definitely pound.

Just look around ebay. You'll find deals. Just look for anything like Pioneer, Alpine, Rockford, or even old audiobahn stuff...new or used. Good quality doesn't have to mean expensive.

NEVER BUY A USED AMP! just get yourself a decent brand amp capable of pushing out at least 500 RMS @ 2ohms mono. NO BOSS, that crap should stay at the flea market. you cant go wrong with alpine, rockford, memphis, or JL. stay away from this crap: pyramid (pyramid of crap), pyle (pile of crap), boss, roadmaster, jensen, dual, namsung, audiovox, dynex, insignia, or any other brand that you have never seen/heard of. remember: if you buy some cheap crap for your car, then you have some cheap crap in your car. expect to pay $250 plus.

i had a Crunch 1000.1 run to my type r's and they beat pretty good but honestly if your on a budget hit up Total Mobile Audio (TMA audio)... they're made by JL and are half the price

type R but what amp???
