Bronze Member Username: XeighPost Number: 13 Registered: Mar-08 | I actually just recently bought a 12' Type r sub and i'm trying to pick the right amp for it. I was looking at the Alpine MRP-M1000 amp i have the dual 4ohm version of the type r, I currently have a MRP-F450 amp for my speakers so i believe i need a cap for my car as well. I'm a bit new to car audio so any guidance would be much appreciated. |

Bronze Member Username: XeighPost Number: 14 Registered: Mar-08 | Well the kicker 750.1 would cost me more than the M1000.. and i was also looking at the audiobahn amps. if i don't need a cap then will my car be fine with two amps? its a 99 civic |

Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 306 Registered: May-07 | depends on the amp you pick out... get a good battery and the zx750.1 and you should be set.. No CAP.! complete waste! |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7497 Registered: Jul-06 | Alpine amps are very good also so go with that if you want. Audiobahn = crap so stop looking haha. As for the electrical system, if anything you would need a HO alternator and high current battery. |

Bronze Member Username: XeighPost Number: 15 Registered: Mar-08 | well i guess everyone agrees on the zx750.1 which is a ton cheaper than the alpine.. i guess i'll put it all in and see if i need to get a new battery or HO alternator.. |
