What kind of amp for alpine 12 type R 1500w max and two kenwood speakers 300w max each?

Question

what kind of amp should i get to hook up my alpine 12 type R 1500w max sub and two kenwood speakers 300w max each. how many channels and how many watts should the amp be. thx

Answer 1

info needed to PROPERLY match amps and speakers

the subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC)

the subs impedance (ohms)

the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired)

the number of subs

the subs size

the subs RMS (continuous) wattage

or

the model numbers

i would get a 2-channel amp for the inside speakers and a mono (1-channel) amp for the subs

when it comes to car audio all you care about when it comes to power is the RMS (continuous) wattage not the peak/max wattage

Answer 2

Your going to want to separate amps for this. One mono amp for the subwoofer. I recommend the Alpine MRP-M850 because thats what I'm using for my Type R's and they beat amazingly! Second you will want to find a 2 channel amp that puts out about 75-150 watts RMS per channel for your two Kenwood speakers. That should hook your system up well.

Hope this helps.
