GPGT

Seriously looking into the Alpine Type X 12 with the Alpine MRV1000 amp in a custom built box with a Kinetic Cap Killer battery. I heard a guy with a Malibu today, he had 1 Type X 12'' and a MRV 1000 on it. I couldn't believe my ears, one of the cleanest setups I've heard in years. Not sure what it does on the meter but I was seriously impressed with that set up. I can get everything, hu included for 950 shipped to my door, then I'd just have to build the box. For that price, all is included from hu, to wiring kit, battery amp and sub. Any good SQL box designs for that sub in a trunk?

In your experience with the GP is there enough room in that trunk to pull off 15's or is it smarter to stick with 10's or 12's? Going to be looking at 1000-2000w rms. My buddy is trying to talk me into skipping the custom box build and just going one 12w7 in h/o jl box, he claims he's seen a blazer do 150 with that setup I think 2000w test tone though. I told him it sounds great to me but not sure how that box will do in my trunk, I'm not spending 800 bucks on one sub and box just to hit 140 ya know. Any advice is helpful and appreciated.

144 was on the old mic not the new tl, big difference. But yeah it can be done, especially in a trans am.

Budget for amp is only 500, I've been researching the JBL 1200 amp but haven't actually seen one in action.

:hairtrick: First post on here, thanks to Steve Meade for making this site possible. My question is what amp is best for running down to 1 ohm at under $500? My goal is to go to some local SPL competitions and in general play some very loud, deep bass on music everyday. I havent' had a system in a few years. Last setup I had was 2 12'' xplods sealed in a Trans Am with a 1200 w max xplod amp and I walked away a winner twice from two local competitions believe it or not. Best score was 144 (old mic though). I'm thinking of getting into some better gear for this car now that I've ran some of the lower end gear. I'd like loud sound quality that can hopefully get into the 140's ya know. The loudest set up I've ever actually sat in was 2 15'' MA Audio subs in a ported box with a 4000 watt MA Audio amp in a Blazer, he pulled a 148 on the new TL. I've not too sure what subs I'm going to run yet but I know I want to get into the mid 140's and I know that it's best to start with picking an amp first. On another note, I'm going to build a ported box for whatever subs I go with, but everything has to stay in the trunk, my back seats do fold down for when I want to get crazy loud. Any ideas for a trunk only sql setup with only 1-2000 watts (budget limited, don't want to upgrade my electrical). Thanks a lot in advance for any input.
