I have the Same sub - Fantastic Quality and Punch...
Use this Sub, Was kinda Skint at the time, but this has far out done itself!!
Powers it easily to far more then i need, let alone can personally handle!!

Looks quite good too, sits nicely on the back of the box and powers away, really good quality and easy to install!!
Surprisingly good...
Cheers, Sam
Im after an amp to power my sub which is an Alpine Type R Sub - 10" - SWR1042D.
Just some thing to power it pref an Alpine unit.
sq? sql? spl?
New words to me...
Thought i was in there with the Lingo of Car audio...
Cheers, Sam
Yes Sam, the sub can handle a LOT more. The amp is not powerful enough so is sending distorted power.
Really...
Gonna have to seriously look into this
What is the next amp i should go for then??
By someones recommendation...
Kinda asking the same thing as the thread title now...
Oh, Mines a 10inch Sub... not 12, sorry, this make much difference??
Thought it would just be punchier and not as deep notes hit...
Cheers, Sam

some relevant information would be ideal mate;
1, enclosure type & size...
2, type of music usually played...
3, desired effect, (sq, sql, spl)...
4, front end specs, (components??? amp???)...
a speakers RMS input is measured at 0dB....
an amps RMS output is measured at a specific voltage playing a 0dB test tone...
it's impossible to record music at 0dB, so it's impossible for an amp to achieve its RMS output whilst playing music, so i would suggest an amp which will do 1000watts RMS into a 2ohm impedence.....
the only amp which falls into this category, in budget, with superb reliability is the JBL GTO1201.1.....

BUT i dont know which bloody amp to buy, i nearly spent £200 on one but then got told it would be too much.why not buy something within your range but still good and just hide it, so its not on show. can get any make of amp u want then
Wallop, if i get all the stuff an paid you to set it up for me would you as i dont have a flaming clue about half the things your going on aboutso, all you have at present is;
headunit
corner speakers, (front & rear) driven by the headunit
sub.....
you listen to all types of music....
i'd go with a sealed enclosure and an amp capable of 1000watts rms into 2ohm impedance.....
this will give nice tight bass with a fair amount of authority....but, with current speakers being headunit driven, you could find the bass will tend to drown them out, to counter this simply lower the gain.....(its ok to use the gain to limit output power, just not ok to try to boost output power past the point of 'clip')....
If you amp is dual 2ohm voice coils, i would go with this

if it is dual 4ohm perhaps roll with
