Hey,

Just wondering will a Alpine Type S 12" 900W (SWS-1222D) sound alright with a Alpine MRP-T220 (250W)? Im kinda new to subs and amps. At the moment I have a Pioneer deck and 2 6x9s running without an amp, I didnt want to go all out, just something that would work well with my current set up.

I usually try to match the RMS of the sub to the RMS of the amp. With good subs, I run the RMS of the amp a little higher so the amp doesn't work too hard. What's the RMS of the sub?

yer, the sub has an rms of 300W. The max power of the amp is 250W. So like quick shot said, the sub is slightly underpowered..should this matter? Will it sound alright?

Should. Underpowering a sub isn't bad, under most circumstances.
