New member Username: Krom79Lilburn, GA US Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-07 | the kicker only runs 200 rms at 4 ohms and 400 rms at 2 ohms...its recomendeed the type r gets 600 watts rms. Shouldnt the amp be a bit more powerful than that kicker? |

Silver Member Username: Kpa2727Post Number: 158 Registered: May-07 | exactly, don't under power this woofer is the point stressed so much, i'll be honest i'm kickin 600 rms to it and it seems like it wants a hell of alot more power. if u wanna put thump really decent and not rip your ears off the infinity 1600a amp is reasonable and will do 600 rms at 2 ohm 400 rms at 4 ohm. i have yet to crank it cause i'm breakin my woofer in slowly, but it's still audible outside the car without evenbarely touching my volume knob. infinity amps i've run several and loved them, even the newer ones , i had a 650 amp by them it did like 650 rms, i hooked 2, 12 inch dvc infinity's subs and 2, 10 inch dvc infinity subs and cranked it up to the point i thought my car was gonna fall apart. and screamed it over 2 years with no problems then turned it in under warrenty to get the 1600 a for free. i miss the 1600a for it's power it was killer efficent with all 4 subs i didn't even get a blink out of my lights. plus that was in a 86 suburban rusted to hell and poor as hell wiring. so i'd go with a infinity for the budget amp that will last you a good while. |

New member Username: Krom79Lilburn, GA US Post Number: 4 Registered: Jun-07 | I like the look of that infinity 1600a amp. Right now im in between an alpine MRP-M650 and the infinity 1600a. Between the two would anyone recommend one over the other? |

Silver Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 161 Registered: Jun-07 | i would get the mrp m650. i have a type r and its running on an mrp m450 that does the job well but its a little underpowered. the mrp m650 would be perfect for you man. my friend has one and it rocks his car... alpine ftw!!! either that or get a rockford fosgate punch 600.bd |

Silver Member Username: Kpa2727Post Number: 178 Registered: May-07 | mrp i think will push you 50 watts more the price between the two not sure the 1600a asthetic wise ::think i spelled that right:: has a led neon type glow and its the full length of the amp. plus all mounting holes are hidden. anything blue on it lights. but yea idk it's ur choice but price wise i love my infinity. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4741 Registered: Dec-05 | ^^^^but still good. About kicker, it will push the sub nicely, cuz they need 500w rms. |
