I'm a newbie with mobile audio and everything. Can an expert or someone with experience with mobile audio tell me how many or which type of amp do I need to power up two Alpine Type R 10 inch subs.

Thanks!

 

at what ohm do your alpine type r 10 have 2 or 4

 

try out the jl audio 500/1 or the kicker (kx600.1 for 2ohm) but foremost.... how much are you willing to spend???

 

I am using Alpine MRV-450 to power my 10" Type-R sub (the 5th channel), it's like 200watts. It sounds great!

So a JL 500/1 would work great for you.. you can also try the Alpine Class D amp...

 

4 ohms

 

I was thinking along the lines of an Alpine Amp. Price isn't really a factor as of yet. I just want something that can fully power up my subs to its full potential.

 

Does the JL 500/1 power both subs up or just one?

 

wire both sub in Parallel, so the amp see it as 2ohm. JL 500/1 can drive both of them together, as 2ohm.

 

What do you mean wire both sub in parallel so the amp see it as 2ohm?

So tricking the amp to see it as 2 ohms instead of 4?

 

Oh trust me, the jl 500/1 can push about 4 of those alpine subs easily. ALOT OF POWER. Extremely well built and great price. About hooking them up parallel, i had in my suv one jl500/1 hooked up parallel to three jl12w3. Heres an example of how to connect the subs parallel. THis was taking from JLaudios website but could be applied to most amps.

 

and yes Alpine class D are great to if you want to stick with alpine

 

Thats the link on how to connect parallel and parallel/parallel and ****:
