I went for the Alpine type R 12" with the matching alpine sub box. A local ICE dealer is supplying and fitting it for me tomorrow. | |

Well from the advise of AdiSRI I've gone for the MRD501 amp. I had feeling I was gonna be spending more than I originally intended :lol: | |

i have to agree, i think that the amps shud be capable of 50% more piower than the subs rated, then the gain kept low to keep the quality up... | |

quote: your gonna be 100wRMS (maybe more) under powered with that deal mate :( ideally, you want an amp pushing out 650wRMS ro cater for the amps, plus allowing abit of head room to cut gains to reduce distortion. But then again, its even more cash etc etc | |

This whole sub business is crazy, I keep wanting to spend more money. I'm thinking about this double sub deal now | |

get a phono splitter, about 50p from any electronics shop, halves the impedance, but u wouldnt see any noticable difference in quality. Alot cheaper! :lol: | |

I found out the answer to my own question on how to run two screens of one playstaion 2. I need a video amp. | |

The trouble with that M501 is that by the time I buy the box, sub and wiring it will work out to be around £440 or so. More than I really wanna spend. | |

the second choice is probably better, but the mrd-M300s are a bit pap, personally id get a MRD-M501 to power that sub, give ya self some leg room. | |

lol thats what i got now. ps2, 2 screens and alpine HU, alpine mid/tweeters, and alpine sub and amp. Not the best system in the world but i'm happy with it | |

yeah I did think so but the all in one box seems like less hassle. | |

i'd say the second choice is better out of the 2 | |

Would the below sub be worth buying say over a seperate amp and sub? |
