Used alpine R, hook up, help!
ok so im starting to get into the sound systems right, still a noob, and i got my first car about a month ago (99 mercury cougar)
ive been seriously searching for some subs now and am getting offers from all sides, here is the one ive been considering the most:
2 12 inch Alpine R subs (used)
Double sub box with custom green tint (matches my car)
MTX 600 Watt amp
Full wiring and capacitor and installation
No warranty
he says its valued at 1550$
hes offering me 650$
The guy is a friend of a friend and works at best buy in thhe audio department.... what should i do???

it would be the MTX 6001. its 600RMS.
you're gonna want to check what the impedance of the subs are. i think they only come as dual 2 or 4ohm. for that amp you're gonna want to have the 2ohm. if they're 4ohm, then maybe running only 1 of the subs would be an option for you as well.
i also would see if you can talk him down from 650, sounds a little steep to me.
only other thing is i'd say that amp is pretty weak to be handling 2 type Rs. they'll handle 500W each, so an amp around 1000-1100W would be a lot better and you're much less likely to fry your subs.
