hi im purchasing 2 Alpine SWX-1242D Type X subs, my question is which amp(s) to get with them. im looking to spend 500$ max on the amp(s). i have 2 amps in mind but i am not sure if they would be good. The amps are 2 of the Hifonics BX1500D Brutus Class-D Series Mono amp or 1 Audiobahn A2300HCT 2 channel amp. i would like to purchase them from www.sonicelectronix.com, since im ordering the subs and a clarion DXZ945MP deck from them. could you please help me out! |

well, an ideal amp for those subs would be an Alpine MRD-1001 for each sub.
those are high excursion subs and they take a lot of power. That means good amps won't be cheap for them.
An alternative may be an Orion class D amp. They make several that have very high outputs.
remember to get the right sub coil setups to match the amp for the load you'll end up wanting too.

if you dont have the money to buy a nice amp. only buy 1 type X and buy that one sub a nice amp. i may be wrong but 1 sub w/ the right power will sound better than 2 underpowered subs. also safer b/c you will be less likely to send the amp into clipping and tear your expensive sub up. |
