It's time for my first car system.. I finally have the $$$ for it (due to a job).

I've been looking around and decided that I want a single Alpine 15" Type R Dual 2 Ohm sub...

And now I'm looking for an amp...

I was looking at the ALPINE MRD-M605 MONO 600W RMS AMPLIFIER

but it says 600w rms @ 14.4v, which I think most cars don't run that? (i thought 12v)

and 400w at 12v..

but the Type-R is 750w rms and I want to get between 600 & 700w rms with a mono block amp, not 400w b/s...

so point me in the right direction... :-)

(im also up for different sub pointers.. spl is what i want)

If you want pure SPL there are better subs for the money. Let me know what your budget is, and I will pick out a CRAZY loud system for you.

Checkout mdcaraudio.com.

Their sidewinder subs are great with a smaller budget. You can get a pair for $270 that will get crazy loud. Hook them up to a nice amp that puts out around 1000rms at 1 ohm and there you go. You could have everything you need for about $550 total. And it would sound great and get very loud.

SPL is sound pressure level. It is just the increase in pressure in teh cabin when the subs hit.

a 15 arsenal would be a good call, 250$, if you get the dual 2 ohm, then youcan buy the massive amp from showrides, if you get the dual 4 ohm, just get an amp that does 750-1000w rms at 2 ohms

That is just the company that makes the subs. You have to get them through a dealer. And they only have the 12's out right now. But if you are decided on a 15, then md wouldn't work out for you.

i'm looking at that sidewinder, and it's a 4 ohm, and it doesn't say it's a dual, it says:

Voice Coil (Inch) 2

and even if it it a dual 4 ohm VC, it can only be wired to 2 ohms right?

you need a dual 2 ohm VC for 1 ohm...

wait maybe I have this wrong:

Nominal Impedence (Ohm) D4
&
Re (Ohm) 1.8

i am confused???

I am looking for a (maybe 2) 15" subwoofer(s) that pound bass that I can hear as well as feel, and money isn't really a big issue...

($1000 for everything is probably my limit due to i still need $$$ for insurance and gas)
