I am trying to decide which subs to get. I am getting an Alpine MRP-M450 amp, 400 RMS @2ohms.

I'm trying to decided between 2 x Pioneer champion 12" TS-W307D2 400 rms
Or
1 x alpine type R 12" 500 rms
or
1 x Rockford Fosgate Punch P312D4 12" 500 rms

I listen to rap and hip hop.

Will the 2 12's produce big sound even though they are underpowered?
I can't run a bigger amp because I don't have the money for an alt upgrade and the pioneers cost half the other two so I can afford 2.

Which will get the best SQ, and be LOUD?
Thanks

 

Why not just run a single dual 4 ohm Pioneer Champion? You can run it at 2 ohms which will give you 400 watts. That is perfect for your sub and you will save even more money.

 

I think the alpine or the P3 will most likely be a lot better, and i'd rather spend a little xtra to get a good quality sub.

 

The 2 12's should be louder because of the extra cone area. As long as the final impendance at the amp is 2ohm of course.

 

Go with the 2-12s you will be fine. just make sure like AAAAAAA said that it is two ohms final load which you can do with the D2

 

Personally man, run the Type R, that's a great amp to run that sub
