What's up all. My family has this thing where we open up our gifts at midnight of Christmas. The present my parents and sis got me were two 10" Alpine Type-R 1042D. Here's a description of them right here:

Now, as my title says... What amp would be good to power these babies? I'm not going to buy online. I'm walking in to a shop to buy. I would prefer if you guys could stick to "higher grade" amps since shops usually carry brands such as Alpine, JL, and Infinity. But please, NO PIONEER. I had a bad experience with the product and customer service and don't need a repeat. I would like to get a gist of what to expect from the sales rep's mouths. All help is appreciated. Thank you much!!

 

I will be getting the same subs just in 2ohms. I will be powering them with the alpine m1000 mono block amp which is perfect for these subs.

I was looking at that amp as well. It's gonna be a very nice setup. I think I'm gonna go with a 2 channel amp because of the dual 4 ohm load. I was at the installer not too long ago and got a gist of what's going on with the dual 4 ohm. I guess I'll have to drop to 1 ohm if I get a mono block, which is what I really wanted. I guess I'll settle with a bigger, more expensive 2 channel amp...

 

Try the Arc Audio KS 1000.1, rated at 1000 rms at 1 or 2 ohm. The alpine is nice but the ks is a far better quality and cleaner amp. I'd say its comparable to the JL audio slash2 amps but at about 500 bucks cheaper. Is more money, but well worth it.
