I'm running a Alpine Type-R 12 DVC (4+4) on an Alpine MRD-300, and I'm looking to add another Type-R 12. The only reason I bought the amp was because I got a good deal on it. Decent amp, but I'm not dead set on another Alpine.
I'm looking for a sub amp that will run 600W RMS @ 1 or 4 ohms so I can still use the 12 I already have.
Preferrable to something less than $500. Any suggestions? |

You could get JL 500/1 amp. It should be under $500. PPI's art series 600.2 is 600w rms, Orion 250G4 is 800w rms @ 1ohm.

Thanks for the input guys. I've looked at the JL and the Orion, and yes... I think that amp would desimate several of these subs. I can't seem to find anything on the art series though.
I *do* have a blown MTX 500D just sitting around(due to a wiring issue a friend had...) and 'supposedly' could have it sent to MTX and repaired for $95. I know MTX is kind of a bugdet brand on this forum, but I've had some luck with them in the past. Would you consider this an option? |
