EliteLegacy Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 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!

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. 00' Nissan Xterra Always under construction :] HU: Pioneer DEH3100-UB Mids & Highs: Kicker DS Component Set & Crescendo tweeters Mids & Highs Amp: Rockford 150.2 Subwoofer: 2 DC Audio LV 4 18"s Subwoofer Amp: Hifonics Brutus 2005d you been hanging out with jeff and dustin with that green paint? its yellow so it has to be loud.
EliteLegacy Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Posted August 1, 2010 I was thinking more 1000 RMS. Basically doubling up.
