Amp

Would this amp be able to power 2 12 inch alpine type e's in a sealed box?http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7675651&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03066&id=1134702498351

or would this amp work better? a 1200 watt sony.

Thanx for your help!

Well, the DECK can't power the subs... Well, it can, but either the deck or the subs will get burned out...
 
The amp will work for the subs... A little over kill, but it'll work... Just make sure to remember that the RMS wattage of the Type-E's is only like 200 or 250...

whoa! cant power subs with 7watts!!!!
 
and theres no way I'd pay $205 for a sony amp........it may say 1200 watts, but thats not what your going to get.
 
I really like the Type E's for budget subs.......I ran one and really liked it for the price, nice clean sound.

a few amps I think you'll be alot happier with around the same price. for the extra 30 or 40 bucks the alpine is great.

I wouldnt be paying $205 for the sony amp cuz i can get discounts on it and it would bring it down to $150. Do u guys think i should keep the alpine amp or buy the sony amp?

Drperry: What do u mean by deck?

By deck. I mean the stereo itself... I don't think there's any head unit that's built to power subs... Not decent ones, at least... That's what your first link was to, not an actual amp...

the ONLY thing sony amps are good for is a door stop or a paper weight.
 
the alpine you posted is $208 and 400rms, the alpine I posted is a V12(their top line) 600rms+ digital read out of voltage/heat/current etc and is only $20 more. so thats $20 for 200 more watts. hence, a much better deal.
 
if your still deciding between the sony or the MRP alpine, deffinatly go with the alpine. So much better build quality and your subs will love you for it.

Not true! Sony amps make good markers for corners on home brew race tracks! lol
 
I've used cappy built amps before (Jensen) and there's a world of difference between a crappy amp and a good one, even when they're rated at the same power output.

lol, I have a jensen too!!!! it sits in the depths of my closet till I find a way to make use of it.............like those things you throw in a pool, then swim down to get it.......or maybe a club to hit someone I dont like..........ohhhhhhhh! my ex superintendent! I'd love to throw it at his 01 jimmy! beeyyaaaaa!!!!!

alright well i got both amps the sony and the alpine. im gonna hook up the subs and then try both amps and see which ones work best. Thanx for all the help. i am doing the install on saturday if its nice out then i will let u know of the results.  

if both amps are set correctly, the alpine will blow the sony away.

You don't have to buy from best buy. It's too bad that sony dropped the red xplod line, how are they going to trick people into buying them? But if you do remember sony did make decent amps briefly back in the 90's, back when alpine took pride in there american made decks. They are both a shadow of there former selfs.

i know i dont have to buy from best buy but when pricing out this particular system that i just bought, best buy had it on sale this week and it was the best price. I usually dont buy my car audio from there but since it was the lowest price i decided to go wtih it.

That is always cool. Who doesn't love a warranty. So what did you end up with? What kinda box you got for the e's

i got a sealed box for the e's and i have both the sony amp and the alpine amp im gonna see which one sounds best and i have a pioneer 7800 deck.

I understand you got them on sale but is $200 your budget. I can tell you that the SONY is garbage, I also would not take the Alpine, but if those are your only two choices then stick with Alpine.

dude everyone on here is saying the Alpine will sound better from experience, what more do you need?

Sometimes, people need to experience things for themselves...
 
Hopefully things work out good!
