Having sorted that out..........

Get a good box for those subs, get this amp or something similar and you're good to go......

Like I said many posts ago... That's a decent amp for $300 or less and the only one close to 1,000 watts RMS unless you go used...

Good luck with the install.

Smartass can tell you the history on this one , I seem to recall it didn't fit in either one of the first 2 vehicles it was purchased for......

If you've got the space, it's a good match.

Haven't read page 2 yet, but I gotta reply;
Slow down is right. Sub to amp to box to INSTALL!
If you can't afford a real 1kW of amp, then you sure can't afford to power the amp you can't afford to buy, so even if you manage to find a good deal somewhere, you'll still be way underpowered. Your $300 amp is going to need a $300 install to run 95%.
Sell off a sub, buy a decent, cheap 500 watt amp, and get it going. With some luck, if it sounds good, maybe you'll actually re-coup what you wasted on the Alpines and sell them both.
Then you can buy a real sub, that's efficient, that set's off alarms.
But to answer your question.....you need a minimum of 1 Watt to get those two running. After that it's just a matter of how much more you wanna waste, throwing good power after bad.

you getting way too technical for me,like i said i want to take er easy right now,not go all out full power,just cruise at a nice but hefty RMS and wear my subs in etc...but u making it sound like is gonna sound like .
im pretty damn sure its not gonna be that bad,and its gonna pound pretty ****in good,considering these are type r's and with a decent but not top notch amp they will still pound like ****.i will be upgrading in the future,dont get me wrong...like for what i have right now i think have a pretty PHAT first ever in my life,setup:

in 1992 honda accord LX 2dr:

-Pioneer Premier DEH-P780MP (HU)
- Alpine SPR-17S (component system)
- Alpine SPR-17C (6-1/2 ,2 way)
-older alpine 300w rms amp(not sure model #,dads old amp,works perfect still)

-the 2 type-r 12inch subs
- Dual 12" / MDF Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure
-AMP STILL A NO GO lol,and thats why im here.

but cmon now,wont this setup sound pretty decent,deliver some kick *** bass??
cant go too crazy now,dont want the ol 92 accord fallin apart or even turning into a rattle bucket lol

I haven't payed much attention to all the replies in this thread but all I know is I was running 2 Alpine type R 10" subs with my Memphis 16-MC100d and it hit really hard/clean. it was an excellent set up I'm assuming that it wouldn't be any different with 12's.

I'm selling my Memphis amp too. Looking to get $300.
