Hey, I got 2 10" Alpine subs the other day and I need any recommendations on what kind of amp to get and wattages and all that. The speakers are 250watts RMS and 600watts peak each. I'm putting them in a Q-Custom Bandpass box and setting them in the bed of the truck (I got a Leer Camper). Any recommendations on amplifiers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Milam

a 500w 2 channel rockford would work great...memphis amps are also really good for the money too...but id stay around a 500w amp from a good brand...the shi**y brands that say 500w or 1000w usually are only around 100w to 200w or so and have very poor sound quality...

Are those the Type S's? what is the impedence on them, 4 ohms? if so, you'll probably be best served to get a mono amp because if you wired those in parallel you would get a 2 ohm load. Many mono amps are designed for this purpose, such as the Memphis 500D, directed 600D, I think crossfire makes a 600D, MTX 500D, kenwood mono amps (like the 401M), rockford bd500.1 (i don't like rockford though, so that would be my last choice), etc.

I think an awesome amp to get would be the alpine m-500's if your running alpine subs the sond will match great together. its a 900watt x 1 max at 14 volt input

rockford amps arent bad...jus depends on what ohm load u want to run...i have the bd500.1 and it works great ku40...but thats cuz i run a 2 ohm load...if i wanted anything lower id be screwed cuz rf doesnt make an amp stable at lower than 2 ohms to my knowledge...
