I am thinking of getting two Alpine MRP-M350
If I wire the subs down to 2ohms and hook an amp to each one, then that would work right? then each sub would be getting 350 RMS. They reccomend each one getting 300, but 50 more wont hurt anyone, will it?
does this sound like a good plan?
also, someone told me in order to get the subs down to 2ohms, i would have to run them in parallel and bridge the amp. is this true?
please, if someone can help me quick, i would like to go get these amps now. so, any help, is appreciated, thanks

just did a quick search , you have dual 4 ohm coils so if you wire each sub's coils in parallel thet will be 2 ohms and an MRD350 on each sub as you mentioned would work fine, but I doubt you'l buy 2 for under 200 bucks
if you go for a single amp to power both you'll want one that makes the power you are looking for at either 4 or 1 ohm (you can wire the 2 subs together to those 2 impedances)

One or two amps? That decision might hinge on the style of box you are using. If the subs share the same airspace then one amp might be the answer or the MRD-M301 X 2 which can be digitally coupled and essentially run as one amp (requires RUX-4280 or new CDA-9831/33/35 with amp link). If the subs are in individual air spaces then the MRP-M350 X 2 will work fine(assuming they are properly level matched). MRD-M301s are still a good idea, they allow you to time align each sub independantly (very benefical to maximize efficiency). Your budget will be the deciding factor. It's good to hear that you have stepped up your budget slightly although I always caution against internet purchases (might as well go to the pawn shop). Alpine does not sell to internet companies and will cut off any retailer which sells products this way.

hmm, ok, the subs have there own air space, i ordered this box to go with them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...EBWN%3AIT&rd=1
I will however get two M350's to power them. i already have one, so i will stick with the original plan and just get another on monday.
thanks again
