What kind of amp will power 2 12" dual coil 4ohm alpine type r subwoofers?

Question

they are 500 rms and 1500 max each, i would liek to know what amp would be the best choice, thanks.

Answer 1

something large probally 2500 to 3000 watt and make sure in is 2ohm stable that way you can wire your speakers down to 2ohm and really destroy your hearing.

Answer 2

A Kicker ZX1000.1. It will be a little pricey, but it's CEA compliant meaning that it really puts out 1000 watts at 1 ohm, which is perfect for what you need. You could take into consideration that your speakers RMS rating might go down with a large vented enclosure. Double check to make sure.

Answer 3

I think you should go with an MTX amp to me they have the best sound to me they also under rate there power and you get a birth cirtificate with the amp that tells you the true output of the amp. The MTX TE601D is a D class amp with 600 wats RMS  and 1200 watts max , this would push those type Rs really good with out the worry of blowing them the other features of the the amp is the cooling system by Xtant when pushing this kind power your amp will get hot if you ride for a min wanging like i do. but this cooling system will no let the amp get hot at all trust me.another factor is the wiring dont get fake 0/1 awg wire get true 0/1 awg wire kicker has a good kit. also get an capacitor 2 farad this mtx amp has 80 amp fuses will dim your lights you can find theis amp on sonicelectronix.com for $319.00 this  is a deal when in the store it cost $500 one last thing make sure you wire your subs right those are dual 4 ohm subs bridge them at a 1 ohm load

Answer 4

how about a 3000 max alpine amp?  typically for midgrade spkrs like those you get good mileage out of a matching amp.  or you could hook up a jl or ppi but i would recommend midgrade to go w/ midgrade spkrs.
