Help With Car Audio Subwoofer

[NickVZSV6]

Hi, pretty simple questions

I want to buy this.

Amazon.com: Alpine SWR-12D4 Type-R 12" Subwoofer with Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: Car Electronics

- Is it good?
- What amp do i need with it. (include examples if you can!) I have read a little about specs but keep getting confused.
- Can it run to my factory stereo/speakers?
- Should i get a new head unit or keep the factory stereo.
- I don't want to change the factory speakers, is that fine?

Any Help would be brilliant.
Cheers

Addtional information;
I will be installing it in my Holden VZ SV6 2005.

Get the dual 2 ohm if you must buy one.

Ask Nic92... he loves them.

- Thats a matter of opinion. Although I don't think anyone here will dispute it's a well built sub.
- You need something that matches it power rating.... look at Alpine again
- Huh? Can what run to your factory stereo?
- I would suggest it for sure as it gives you so many options and much better sound but no, you don't have too.
- Thats fine, I probably wouldn't anyway.
