I came out to:
1. 12" Alpine type-r dual 4 ohm $114.95
2. 6.5" Alpine type-x components $169.95
3. MTX TA 4501 (500W RMS @ 2 ohm) $179.95
4. MTX TA 3202 (100W RMS X 2 @2ohm)$89.95
5. Alpine CDA 9588 $219.99

TOTAL PRICE = $ 744.84

My brother owns the mtx ta 4501 its a solid amp and is under rated the true rated power is 600 watts rms...that will drive the alpine type r 12 just fine...the mtx ta 3202 is ok if you dont want to spend more...but if it was me id upgrade the power a bit for the components to a mtx ta 5302 at 75 rms at 4 ohms per channel for an extra 40 dollars...heres the link

"Paul is that your new equipment???!"



Yeah. I'm having a slight problem though. I'm thinking about leasing a new truck and don't know if I wanna install it in a leased ride. Got the box built and all as well.
