Alpine Type-X or JL Audio W7
Alright so here is what i need help with.
I've heard the w7 when my buddy was working at Audio Video when it was getting 1000watts. I got 2alpine type-X's bridged at 4ohm running of the mrd-m1005. So 500watts from amp to 2 subs, 250watts each... i dont think they sound half that bad... My question is. If you had your pick Would you take 10" Alpine Type-X with 1000watt watt or a w7 and why.
I still havent been able to run my Type-X's at even 50% of what they can do since my system is just messed up and complicated
But I've ordered the 200amp Alt from ExessiveAmperage.com(w00t w00t)
and im debating wether to get another mrd-m1005, or the hifonics collosus which is a 2chanel ultra-d amp... 1100watt x 2 @20hm...

Well, I say the Type X, im not overly a huge fan, but I have heard 2 12" in a proper built to spec box and about 600wrms going to each(cleanly) and it rattled my head so bad!! And on the same note I have heard a jl sub up close and personal, I would not go that route again! but it reallly comes down to what do you want out of the subs! Since you already have the Type X's , Just get a 2nd mrd1005, and have fun!
250 watts a piece wont even tickle a type x. My vote goes to getting the alpine, since you already have one and the type x's. 2000 watts to a pair of 12" type x's will give you a lot of options as far as box alignment goes (nice sealed box will give a fairly flat response with a little tweaking, ported will have a ton of output).

yea i got the DVC 4ohm subs....
im not considering just those amps... just kind of what i been looking at
and that hifonics is 1100watt x 2 @ 2ohm... so 1100watts to each sub... a lil more then the RMS right? so i was thinking might be good idea to go with that... cus im worried about the amperage draw by my amps from battery and alternator... i have a 70 amp alternator right now, but will have a 200 in about 3 weeks after its built and shipped....

I would just stick with the aLpine Mrd1005's, They are accurate for power, sturdy builds, They are literally a perfect match! I don't know why you would consider getting an amp that is less then perfect quality? Just my 0.02
I would try and concentrate on a good quality single amp to run both subs. MTX makes a monster mono amp that would work for this. The second to last model I brought in delivered 1968w rms into 1 ohm mono. A one amp system is going to have far less current draw, wiring, space and wasted energy as compared to a 2 amp system.
I would agree with Rob on this, the space and current draw from a single amp would be much better then adding a second amp, or getting two new amps altogether! However If your going for looks, then 2 amps would be best off 
unless its ONE huge amp!
