does it make a big difference in considering amp brand as long as the rms output is the same? will the sq be lower in a cheaper brand?
shiva - 650w rms what amp would i use to power 2 shivas? one shiva?
what about buying one shiva, connecting it to an amp, and then buying another shiva later...? i kno that connection only one shiva isnt that great because its dual 8. but wont in the long run 2 shivas be better than 2 type r's?
The Shiva Mark IV subwoofer is here! This is our take on what a 12" subwoofer should be: stiff Kevlar impregnated cone, massive Xmax, dual 8 ohm voice coils, huge power handling, and the ability to get down and rumble in a wide variety of enclosures. Remember, as far as deep bass goes, it's all about moving air, and moving LOTS of it.

i think so....a cheaper amp will have a hard time putting out clean undistorted power as opposed to a higher end amp that will have no problem putting out clean power at say 600 watts rms. a good amp will easily give you clean 600 watts rms and a cheaper amp will give you 600 watts with distotion. that works with sq and spl
if the alpine type x is 4x4ohm, and i get a 300rms @4 ohms mono amp, the sub will get 300 rms. when i add another 4x4ohm subwoofer, then the amp will supply 600rms @2ohms, which equals out to 300rms to each sub.
if the alpine type x is 2x2 ohms, then i only have to get a 300rms @2Ohm to get the same result as above. and when i had another 2x2ohms sub, it becomse 600rms @2ohms, giving each sub 300watts @1 ohm.
does any of what i just said make any sense at all... or am i way off?
