[blazin206]

Hey guys just some quick suggestions please.

Heres wat I have.

Alpine Type R sub 12" 500rms and Alpine type R splits 70rms I think.

Any sugstions on how I should amp these??

Budget $500 - $600

thanks!

where abouts sells alpine gear there??? up here we have north---field, im pretty sure a V12 amp which my mate has running his and is the best punch ive ever felt lol theyre under $600

run the splits fromt he head unit sub from the amp


dont think youd get an alpine amp under 600 to runt he splits and the sub

[omgitsmatt]

spend a little on an amp for the splits and then the rest on a good amp for your sub maybe look for a 2nd hand amp for the splits

[solitz]

depends on what u want to do...if u want to run the sub and splits off one amp then u should concider a good 4 channel amp.

so u will run the splits off ch 1 & 2 and then the sub will be off ch 3&4 bridged

amps that are around that price would be alpine V12 range or even an audison or eclipse for $600

if u got alpine mite as well stick with all alpine. get the MRD-m605 retail $599 output 1x400rms at 4 ohm. then run the splits of the head-unit till u can afford a second amp. i wouldnt recomend getting a 5-channel and running subs and speakers of same amp. i stick to one for each pair generally. one amp for front stage, one amp for rear stage and one for subs (or one for each sub)

you wont get the sub to get up and boogee unless your able to get 2 amps, one for the sub and one for the splits as your max. $600 budget wont cut it im afraid.

what do you run icacha? i got a w202e running stock atm whilst i wait for my focal 165k2p's and 4.75 .and have 2 27wx's runnin of the 1.800 focal. (haha yes i like focal)

in aggreance with icacha. and there is not point in buying 2 cheap amps for the same price either. the sound is only as good as the stage b4. eg your sub can only sound as good as your amp, and your amp can only sound as good as the signal being fed from the cd player

if you ever head past melbourne i can help you out with focal prices lol

Yer not heading down there anytime soon.

But Ill just get a good mono amp for the sub for now and then get a 2 chan amp for the splits later.

thanks for the help guys.:wave:

DD.

in that price range, theyve got decent 4chans with some power

[Pumped]

Yep, i'd Definately look at a Digital Designs C4

Perfect for what your after!

should be able to make 2x100w rms for your splits and around 500w rms for the sub

Use this Alpine Amp MRV-F545. Mate has one and when he bought it from a Alpine dealer they told him this amp was designed to give a great 3 channel mode power ratings for a pair of splits and a high powered subwoofer from the Alpine range.

Channel 1&2 are 125w RMS each @ 4ohms

Channel 3&4 Bridged are 500w RMS @ 4ohms

RRP $799

Chase this up and you might be able to get it for around $600-650

or for a dedicated 3 channel amp with more of an sq focus u could look at the audison srx-3, rrp of $629 last time i checked... :)

I saw this amp before but I thought a MONO amp was better suited for a sub?

But i will ask around for this one most definately.

As for digital designs anyone know more about these?
