i'm gonna get 1 alpine type r 10" the rms for the sub is 500 watts, and peak 1500, does that mean i need an amp with 500 watts rms? also are Boss amps any good?

boss is crap. get an amp that'll do around 500-800wrms at whatever ohm load you need. post the voice coils of the sub and budget and you should get some help.

alright, i can either go with 2 ohm or 4 ohm dual voice coil and i'd prefer to spend around $300, not any over $400

dont spend 200 dollar for that 1 r. u can get two for that price... www.etronics.com

your sub is a dual 4 so u need an amp that gets 500 to 800 at 2 ohms.

alpine mrp m650 gets a solid 600 watts rms at 2 ohms. i would go with that. u can get one for about a little over 200 shipped also at etronics.
i have r's to and i hae 500 going to each they take it easy so u could also be good with a kicker zx750 if u set ur gain right. that sundown would probably be the best though if u have that kinda money for an amp. i know ctmike is selling his for like 280 shipped. good luck man.

i like that alpine mrp m650, but it says it only gets 400 watts if you have 1 sub hooked up, 600 with 2 subs, i'm only gonna have 1 sub the 12" r. that wont be enough power will it?

the m650 gives off 600 wats at 2 ohms. you have the 1242 model of the R correct? so it would be wired to 2 ohms and 600 watts is more than enough. any other questions pm me man ill get to it faster. oh yea and etronics is a great site. they ship fast and i have ordered off of there over 10 times and always got my package faster than expected brand new everything is legit. so u dont even have to worry about gettin screwed over
