need good advice

[kriscattan]

well ive asked a few times in the past, but its finally come time that i can actually buy my amp yay
only problem is, what one??? i have an Alpine Type R 12" SWR-1242D, which i do believe is the duel 4 ohm. which is probly why the sub says 4ohm + 4ohm on it . well anyway, i need to find an amp to run this sub, one that will run it well! and im looking for something of around $400 or under so please any advice is good advice and please give me your opinions on what to buy

Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - Option Audio OAX502 Would do the job on a tight budget, but you really want a little more power.
Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - db Drive DBA1600.1D Puts out 800wrms @ 2ohm (from what I could find out), so would be better. I'll try and do you a deal on it and bring it a bit closer to the $400. But before that, I'll double check the specs. It's late and the info I have is a little sketchy

[kriscattan]

thanx for the info, wha exactly should i be looking at when looking for an amp? like what specs should i be looking for

Philthy do you stock the OAX801 Mono? Last price i checked on that was $279 which is crazy cheap for a semi usable 800wrms mono.

Kriscattan - OA Is a good brand and will be in your budget, but just make sure you check power figures properly because OA quote all their figures at 14.4v not 12v. ..

thanx for the replies, just letting you know ive raised my price limit. so you can give me ideas for amps that are around $500+

OA should really tell me when the specials like that are on LOL! But I'm sure that can be matched.

Kriscattan - Hey if your going to spend that much then get something big and badass so you can upgrade to a monster subwoofer down the track. I will check the price on this: Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - Option Audio OAX1502 on monday.

how does everyone feel about the Alpine MRP-M500, i know that i can get this in town so would save the hassle of buying over the net, but ill only get it if it will work well???

Yeah we have it. I'm sure Joe will be on the phone with them trying to match that price. Where did you see it?

I was on same boat as you mate, I bought a MRP-M650.
the MRD-605 does the same job as well.
