Hi I have 1 12" Alpine type-R dual 2@hm sub in a ported box and I need a new amp as mine is dead.

I've rounded it down to three amps and was hopeing to get some of your guys opinions on which one of these would be best

Alpine MRP-M650 (400 Watts at 4ohm)
Orion 600D (600 Watts at 1ohm)
PHOENIX GOLD X600.1 (600 Watts at 1 or 4ohm)

I've had good luck with all three brands in the past the only one I'm really worried about is the Orion because I would be running it at 1ohm and I'm worried about heat.

What one of these would you guys get?

hey guys, I hooked up a L5 solo baric with the coils in series to a rockford 700s and it was booming for a day until I got the burning smell fron the speaker. How can this be? the amp only pushes 350 watts @ 4ohms and the speaker should be able to handle 750 continuos and 1500 pmpo. I bridged tha amp, any sug?

The voice coils are ok, they check 2.5 ohms, should I hook them back up and lower the gain of the amp?

Is there any other amps you'd recommend in this price range? There isn't a lot of selection localy(I live In ND) so my knowledge of other brands is limited.

Sorry I'm looking for a class D mono amp that pushes at least 400 watts at 4ohm or is 1ohm stable(Meaning can run that way during a real hot summer day)

you get a lot of versatility with that PG. So if you want to get some different woofers Ie a single 10W7 that has a 3 ohm load you could still run it at it's RMS with headroom, as where with the other amps you couldn't.
