What Amp Do I Need
What Amp Do I Need
I am strictly sticking to an all Alpine system. All 4 door speakers are going to be Alpine and (2)10" Subs are going to be Alpine. How do I figure out what amp to get? I understand that RMS is the actual Watts to be paying attention to. So here is my question, if I get a Mono amp that has 500 Watts RMS, does that mean if I hook one sub up to it, it will get 500, and if I hook 2 subs up to it, they will both get 250?
And how do I figure out what amp to get for my door speakers?
Front: Rear: Subs (x2): http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SWR1...11#details-tab
Sub Box: http://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductD...de=F150-210-04
If someone could please go to Crutchfield and find 2 Alpine amps that will work perfectly with these speakers, and post up the link, I would be forever grateful. I'm having a hard time and keep coming up with nothing. I have been researching this for literally 8 hours the past 2 days, so a little guidance is greatly appreciated.

So for that, congratulations! (I think?) Here's what you've won:
An all expenses paid trip (sorry, one-way only...budget cuts 'n sich) to Professor MGDfan's exclusive and prestigious Department of Spoon-Feeding! Once there, you will be presented with an honorary key to the department (which, of course, will be carried and employed for you at all times) and all the delicious Gerber baby food you can eat.
After you've had your fill of green bean purée, you will be burped and lullabied by one of Professor MGD's hand-selected nannies.
Later, and if you so choose, you will have the opportunity to be wheeled (or carried) to any of the following Prof. MGD's World-Famous seminars:
Let others do unto you.
Who moved my blankey?
How I learned to stop worrying and let others do stuff for me.
What, me work?
...just to name a few.
The benefits you'll receive from this phenomenal trip and workshop (oops...vacation) will further your leaching efforts (oops...lifestyle) in unimaginable ways.
So act now...oh....ehhhh...never mind.

Don't blame me. 'The Devil' made me do it!

In what year were you born, CrAcK3r? The reason I ask is because I'm doing a little informal survey on the unique, yet tiresome, behavior and traits of the Millennial generation, and I suspect you'd be a perfect 'subject' for said.

OP, you and I are actually doing the same thing. All Alpine. Except my equipment list is as follows:
SPR-60C
SPR-60
SWR-1223D (2)
PDX-F4
PDX-M12
My Dear Mr. Cracker;
Please excuse the well-meaning enthusiasm of my dedicated Associate and fellow Brigand,, Mr. Dewser.
Alas, the Charm School is overbooked; we have all the capons, pylons and assorted lugnuts we can handle. With these difficult times, only a limited number of properly trained Nannies, sponge-bathers, spoonfeeders and throne-carriers are available. Not to mention, a dearth of soothers, Monogrammed blankies and MGD-Logo sippy-cups. And - have you seen the prices for decent Pablum recently - it's simply Scandalous!
I do sincerely apologize for the scheduling and enrollment challenges; rest assured you will have a slot next semester, if you so choose; engage someone to so inform us.
We are working on a more convenient web-based initiative (launching Q3 2012) - all that is going to be required is a CC number and someone to operate your computer for you.
In the interim, and for yer own safety, please strictly limit the duration of yer work breaks, in between leisure hours. Sedentary life is taxing enough without the added trauma of actually attempting to accomplish something.
I remain at yer service. Together, without yer active participation, we can remove the stress and worry of doing nothing. We CAN do this.
Perfesser MGD

..... that Aussie dude is one smart cookie - Call The Crutch - they can advise you properly and will answer any/all questions...

Yall are a bunch of sissy who have way to much time on your hand. Get a life and quit trying to act cool/funny on an internet forum. You're probably some 40 year old man who has no life and no friends and nothing to do on the weekends but sit in front of the computer. Get out and get some *******......good god almighty.

Most of us are well over 40, have professional positions, responsibilities, dependents. We read and share information. However, when something simple approaches, we have the fortitude to investigate and research. Sometimes we ask for opinions, but we do not ask others to do basic problem solving for us, like looking at a website. Have a good day..........
....Mr Cracker.
By the way, your screen name implies a ghetto tone, I do not believe Crutchfields accepts food stamps.

Thanks for the compliment - but I'm quite a bit north of 40. And you might be, what? A Millennial? I actually do have friends, and spend the majority of my free time outdoors, though. So, thanks fer yer concern in that regard as well.
Nevertheless, you'll note that I said I was kidding (see last line in my post), and still believe you'd be best served by calling Crutchfield directly, as stated.
I do have to thank you for confirming my intial impression of you
And lastly - THANKEE fer the new siggie - see below - I do hope you approve.

Quite the argument you make there, CrAcK3r. Are you in your high school's debate class? You get called out for being lazy, and your rebuttal calls for us '40 year olds' to procure some female genitalia. Makes sense.
