im looking into purchasing my first new system for my car and im stuck between what subs i should get as well as an amp, im looking at two 12 MTX Thunder 4500s or two 12 Alpine SWE-1242? and as far as amps ive been told alot of different things so im kinda confused if anyone has good advice for which of those subs are a better choice and whether or not a shouuld buy a kicker mono amp or an alpine mono amp id really appreciate it |

if i was you i have heard both of them and i would go with the alpines they can handle more power then the mtx, the mtx will blow really easy if you have anything setup wrong. |

def dnt get MTX subs if you get alpine, get the type R's and get a kicker amp they give u the bang for your bucks and there under-rated..they usually do more rms.., usually there's good prices on ebay for them... |

the difference between 4ohm and 2ohms is what you wire them too, and what amp you are using...heres the wiring options...
(2)Dual 2 ohms wired in parallel/series=2ohm load
(2)Dual 4 ohms wired in parallel/parallel= 1ohm load
and then just find amp that is 2ohm or 1ohm stable your choice....
I found this on ebay (2) Dual 4 ohms for $234.45 shipped...then you would need an 1ohm stable amp

Or i found these (2) Dual 2 ohms $263.98 shipped...then you would need an 2ohm stable amp
