Not my day, ICE update

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=181721

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.

The girlfriend is going to go mad when she finds out how much it costing me :lol:

which sub did u go for m8, the M501 is a good amp for the money....

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:

Thanks for all your help

Steve

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...

on that double deal id be wanting the MRD-M1001 not the 501...

yep, i wouldnt get 1 amp for 2 subs, defo get 2 amps. otherwise they will be underrun

This is getting confusing.Think I will get the MRD 501 with 1 Type R sub.

That should do me as I'm not a bass junkie

2 x Alpine SWR-1221D 12" Type R 1000W max (300W RMS each) subwoofers
Alpine MRD-M501 - 550W RMS @2ohms amplifier
This is turning out to be very expensive :lol:

I didn't realise you could run 2 subs of one amp? Soudns interesting

I've got the phono spiltter from maplins now, abit more than 50p (4 quid) but its a fancy gold plated one

CAD have the M501 on special at £249.99 atm get in there!

Trust me a struggling M300 is not something u want to hear, it is the bain of my life!

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

Alpine do one priced at £35 :)

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.

Mo, how have you set the playstation to run 2 tft screens?

Thanks

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'm not very good with this sorta thing.

I've just a bought a slimline ps2 along with 2 7" sunvisor screens so I'm looking for a sub to compliment the system :)

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?

I wanna keep the sub and amp to the Alpine make to match my front speakers and headunit.

This is my other choice

Alpine SWR-1241D Type R 12" subwoofer,
Alpine MRD-M300 Digital Amplifier
