This will do the trick with the right electrical n wire the two sub's down to 1,ohm this will do rated n ur sub's will sound amazing!!!

This amp is prefect in 2 ohm and very powerful it puts out 1600 watts in 2 ohms and with a good capacitor it will hit hard with out over heating. I have my comp r speakers in 4 ohms and it is very loud

I love this amp but from my experience they both some beast if u grt this amp and want to upgrade your 12s to anything bigger this amp will push em

Hifonics all the way. I have owned both. I hade the MRX-M110 on two JL audio w3 13.5s and then got the Hifonics when I got my 2 type r 12s. The hifonics + type r's blow my old setup out of the water. Hope this helps-Marcus

I am powering two 12 Orion pro @ 2ohms and this amp has no problem punching them hard. Hope this help with your options.

Yup. I think it's 250 watt rms. get a mono amp, I get a jvc mono amp for ~$100 it its worked great for the past two years, especially for a cheap amp. Look at the sub specs and get an amp that closely matches it.

Or 93watts x4 at 2 ohm is what my alpine sheet says i definately suggest alpine amps ive had a 500 watt mono for 4 years now still goin strong

Not familiar with those Alpine speakers but I have it pushing two Rockford Fosgat 10's dual voice coil rated at 250 wats each and it powers them plenty!!

I used this for two 10s then my rear 6x9s. The 1600 watts isn't true power you can get maybe 400W, but mostly 300 depending on how you wire stuff. It did make a nice little thump with the 10s in a custom box but i would go Audiobahn or Rockford since they are way cheaper these days.Look at the Audiobahn A8002M 2200W 2 Channel Class A/B Intake Series, little more price wise but you'll get at least 1000w true and its way better built. It used to be in the $300 to $400 range for this quality. If you really want power gonna have to spend at least $300 so that your not just blurting out noise but the above is for quality with a nice bump or rock music.

Depends on what you are looking for. I got mine hooked up to a five channel MRX-V60. 50 -75 watts per channel for the front and rear channels and 200 to the sub. Actual birth sheet rated higher 90 watts and 325 sub. Personal opinion is go with Alpine amp ether 4 or five channel. PDX series Alpine amps come with a birth sheet that gives you the actual tested watts per channel. Usually higher than what it says on the box. Stay with in the RMS range 75 to 100 watts per speaker to stay safe.

It depends on what ohms your subs are? But this is a nice universal amp and I have it for my mids and highs. I did hook it up to my 2 12s and it worked good. With a mono amp you can only use it for your subs. I think of the future and what I can do with my amp and know this isn't the greatest amp out there but it does the job.

I sold mine before any issues happened. pretty solid amp, pushed the sub i had, got hot quick.. i also had the 4 channel just like this one and it went bad on me. sold the 4 channel for parts and got rid of this one because i wanted matching amps. polk makes some good stuff but these series of amps are always online being sold for parts/ broken and need repair if that tells you anything. for the price look into mb quart.

The r type speakers from Alpine are the better of the two. I am running 4 7in Rs both component and coaxel and 2 type s in the rear as space does not permit. I am very happy with this set up

I would say yes as the Mont Blanc amp is supposed to be fantastic, but I wouldn't buy one just to pair with an X3. The X3's amp is pretty damn solid and I think the difference would be neglagable, unless you're using cans that need a lot of current. Now if you're buying the amp anyways and are going to use it on different devices of course pair it with the X3 ;). I mean the main purpose of the X3 is an awesome sounding all in one device, so you don't have to lug around a seperate amp. I've been the separate amp route and I've spent way, way too much on portable audio stuff - so I appreciate the value and simplicity of the X3. The X3 and a nice mid high end set of iem's is all I need in my portable setup, and my wallet thanks me! Sorry about rambling on lol, there is better sounding gear for sure, but how much do you want to spend and when do you reach the point of deminishing returns? I don't visit sites like head fi anymore, keeps me out of trouble ;) They are always coming out with bigger and better things damn them :)

Memphis car audio (Reference Audio), XTC, Targa, and Digital Designs all make themselves look good on paper. The only amp I have seen and heard are the Memphis (Reference) and a Sound Stream blew the Reference away. Your looking at all cheap equipment, sorry to say. The Pioneer may have good price, but as far as performance, the Pioneer will put out. May damage your 5x7 and I know will blow your Lightning Audios. I'm running Pioneer amps, but with Infinity components. On my Pioneer Mono amp, for fun I took a Audiobon sub that said it was 1000watts RMS and blew it up in 3 minuets. Never look at Peak Power of any car audio. You want to look at RMS Power. Rockford has become a crap product in its years. They use to be good back in the 90's. Hate to tell you, but Lightning Audio is worst. Lightning Audio distorts even at mid volume. If your wanting to build a system, save your money and do it right. I'm not trying to sound like an a@@ but your looking for trouble using cheap amps and speakers. As far as comparing Pioneer to the others you asked. If you don't know or under stand Watts Peak and RMS or ohms and amperage I would be talking Chinese to you. All I can say is the amps you are looking at are cheap crap...

This is a great amp.http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=1VT9WZRKT4420&C;=3TG14KBDH777U&H;=6ISVNJSFOJS0RV1FHACRNS5MDZMA&T;=C&U;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB00F0H88SY%2Fref%3Dpe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_2

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

I've had many amps powering different kinds of subs , to b honest I've had everything from jl to alphasonic and all preformed same to me and I love lot of bass in system. Just make sure you match amps output to sub's . I have a sound stream powering all my full range speakers and alphasonic mono on sub's now ...hits hard

I consider 75 RMS 2 ohms is fine. I think this speakers are overrated. I use them long time ago with my alpine V-POWER series amp, calculating 100 RMS 2 ohms per channel and soon burned the tweeters.Before that, I used 60-70 RMS per channel and everything was perfect.sorry for my bad english LOL

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down

Is this a 4 or 5 channel amp? I thought the 70 was a 5 channel. Either way, the rule is you can hook up any speakers to any amp as long as the amp doesn't overpower them. The caveat I'd put on that is that you can count on the Alpine amp to put out significantly more watts than it is rated for. It will come with a handwritten spec sheet. Make sure the speakers are rated to handle at least that actual amount of power. If you purchase the speakers at the same time as the amp then just get ones that are rated for more than the amp is rated. This is a lesson I learned the hard way. Good luck.
