Default MTX 7402 Amp: Which subs?

What are some good subwoofers to match with this amplifier? I have a Zenclosures sealed box for two 10's. Anyone have any recommendations? I am open to all suggestions!

Here are the amp specs: (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WkI1Ato...02&i=236TA7402)

» 2-channel car amplifier
» 100 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (200 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)
» 400 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (600 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
» CEA-2006 compliant
» MTX Prizm EFX selectable color display
» variable high- and low-pass filters (40-350 Hz)
» quasi-parametric EQ (cut/boost 0-12 dB at 30-80 Hz)
» Active Resonance Control (cut 0-15 dB at 200 Hz)
» speaker-level inputs with Smart Engage
» Xtant Technologies Cooling internal thermal management
» full-range Class-AB amplifier design
» MOSFET power supply
» fuse rating: 35A x 3
» 4-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
» 20-11/16"W x 2-1/2"H x 9-5/8"D

Hey nice amp. I'm putting the single channel one for my system. I'll try to post pics tomorrow. I'm using 2 10" alpine type Rs.

Sent you a PM Redman.

Sounds like a nice amp, I am considering buying two Alpine Type R's as well. Would that amp be powerful enough? Or do I just need a single channel to run two 10"?

I have that exact amp in my car. I am running a 12" kicker L7 off of it and it hits really hard. Amp is really nice to, my old kenwood amps would shut off sometimes with the stupid Las Vegas heat

And to answer out of those. Do not get the Type-E line from alpine, just not the greatest stuff. I would stick to the MTX, as I have also never been a fan of Infinity's products. You may want to check into some Kicker CompVR's, JL Audio W3's, or maybe a sub from Alpine's Type-S Line

Thanks for the heads up. I do not know my way around when it comes to appraising the quality of all these subwoofers out today.

If anyone can recommend two great subs that will work WELL with the amp I'd love it.

T7510-04, Alpine Type S, Elemental Designs, Image Dynamics...too many choices.

Out of the 4 that you list there, I would rock either the MTX or the IDMax
