Which combination would you choose (one sub and one amp)?

Subs:
One 12" Alpine SWR-1222D (2+2ohm) - 500rms, 1500w peak

OR

One 12" Alpine SWR-1242D (4+4ohm) - 500rms, 1500w peak

Amps:
Alpine MRD-M1005 mono amp:
---specs:
• 500W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 12.0V)
• 700W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 12.0V)
• 700W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 14.4V)
• 1.000W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 14.4V)
• Max. 1800W x 1

OR

Alpine MRD-M605 mono amp:
--specs:
• 250W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 12.0V)
• 400W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 12.0V)
• 400W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 14.4V)
• 600W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 14.4V)
• Max. 1.000W x 1

Combination 1) Get 2+2ohm sub, in series = 4ohm. Get the MRD-M1005 amp, and run between 500-700rms (depending on voltage).

Combination 2) Get 4+4ohm sub, in parallel = 2ohm. Get MRD-M1005 amp, and run between 700-1000rms (depending on volatage).

Combination 3) Get 4+4ohm sub, in parallel = 2ohm. Get MRD-M605 amp, and run between 400-600rms (depending on voltage).

Thank you guys!

go with combination 1 that way your giving the sub a little more power and in case you ever want to either get another sub or upgrade to a better sub you have a strong amp and you wont need to buy another one

Thank you for your reply. I will probably be allset with just one sub though. Anyone else?

if you want to conserve money and are sure that you wont change your setup then you can go with combination 3...but whatever you do dont go with combo #2 those Type Rs are built good but not to take 1000rms

The only problem I see going with the MRD-M605 amp is that it is only 1000w max. The alpine Type R subs are 1500w max. I won't really be getting the full effect if I get this amp right? I'm thinking of going with combo #1 if that is the case
