Also would the mono Hifonics bx1000d be sufficient?? It puts out 500 watts rms @ 2 ohms and the sub is rated at 500 watts rms - 1000 max peak power, If I went with the dual 4 ohm it would give the amp a 2 ohm load wired in parallel.

What about the mono Hifonics bx1000d?? It puts out 500 watts rms @ 2 ohms. The dual 4 ohm type r sub is rated for 500 watts rms - 1000 max peak power could be wired for 2 ohm. --Or the 2 channel Hifonics zx6000 that puts out 600 watts rms @ 4 ohms bridged with the dual 2 ohm wired for 4 ohm???

dude, it was a friend's car, he was under-powering his with a 600 watt rms Alpine mono block. I am suggesting what will work best. You will either choose to use it and be happy, or not to, and not be happy. 600 wrms isn't enough, what makes you think 500 will be? And by the way, PEAK power means less than nothing.....

I know peak power means sh@t!! That's why I thought the 500 watt rms sub would be good with a 500 watt rms amp. I always thought you match amp and sub with rms wattage ratings.

So you guys are saying that the Alpine Type R 12 is rated at 500 RMS and you guys are going to throw 1000 watts rms + to it ????

Is this for SPL comp for burps or for daily driving ?

It doesnt add up

it should be fine with 1000w daily driving, 2000 for burping.

I am interested in getting a Type R 12 for my SUV. Im not sure if i should go sealed or ported. Probably ported but which amp you guys think with $300 budget ?
