Sort of wanting to upgrade...Need recommendations


Recommended Posts

Posted

Right now, I have an Alpine Type-R sub and an Alpine MRP-M500 amplifier. They play fairly strong (500 watts RMS), but I'm wanting to step it up a bit. I could throw in another Alpine sub and upgrade the amp, but I like trying different things and exploring a bit.

My budget is around $500, give or take a few hundred. I want more power, bottom line. SQL is nice and all, but I only care deeply about the bass. If anyone could shoot me some ideas, I'd appreciate it. I was leaning toward two Kickers, but I'm still lost with what amp I would need.

I drive a '99 Grand Am, so room in the trunk isn't an issue with two subs.

Thanks in advance!

With a budget like that I assume the best electrical upgrade you could do is the big 3? So you're limited on the amount of power you can go with.. Check around the for sale section, lots of good stuff for lower prices. Keep it under 1500wrms if you do the big 3..try to add another batt in the back lol or upgrade the starter bat.

I was thinking more 1000 RMS. Basically doubling up.

Can you build your own box?
