I have one pushing 4 8s. It does what it claims. It bench tested a little above it's rated output. It never shuts down and runs very cool, even when driven hard.

2 605s would be the way to go. That would be very nice.

I still think you'd be better with the 2 605s.

If u wanna keep it Alpine on Alpine - i agree on 2 605 , your subs must be 4ohms dvc though .

So they are the SWR-1022Ds ?

You can wire the coils in series and then to the amp. This will give a 4 ohm load. With the 2 605s each sub would see only 250WRMS @ 12V and about 350WRMS with the car running. Those subs are rated at 500WRMS each. You could get just one MRD-M1005, wire the 2 coils of each sub in parrallel and then wire each sub in series with the other and present the amp with a 2 ohm load. In this case the MRD-M1005 will provide 700W at 12V and 1000W @ 14.4V.

if there is 2 2ohms dvc subs u can wire em like this Upload

& buy the M1005
RMS Power (at 12V,20Hz-200Hz)
* Per channel into 2 ohms : 700W x 1
* Per channel into 4 ohms : 500W x 1

RMS Power (at 14.4V,20Hz-200Hz)
* Per channel into 2 ohms : 1000W x 1 (1% THD)

So i think its a perfect match
