After having my car broken into and all my crap stolen, I'm starting to look at some replacement hardware. I aquired three MTX 10" subs in a custom sealed enclosure from a neighbor, and I'm asking your opinions on what would be a good mono amp to get to run these babies. I'm not looking for earth-shattering rock-my-licenseplate-off bass, I'm simply looking for something that will make them pound nice, deep, and clean!!

A friend suggested sticking around the 500-600w range (I used to have two kenwood 12"s running off a 800watt kenwood amp (kac-7201), and it sounded kinda shitty, but I believe that was partly due to the subs themselves (the tornados made the bass real short and hard)

Any suggestions? Also looking for an amp that has at least a little something that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
TIA

rockford punch series p6001 should be right up your alley. actually, the p3001 would be fine for you. i was pushing two 12's off one, and it was loud. hope this helps.

small question about Rms, my type s, say they run at 50 rms, im going to by a 4 channel to power my rears and my fronts, but it can put out 130 rms, will this blow the type s, also how do i hook up my tweaters because i want to power them also but its only a 4 channel amp

actually i have a rockford fosgate 351s POWER amp, 2 channel, i used it on my 1 L7 in my explorer and it pushed the hell out of it .. its for sale if you want a used amp ... either way stick with rockford i love their stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll look into them.

mephis is the way to go hard to find them but if you look on ebay you can find a 1000d amp for about $400 or so, i have one in each of my cars and had the one for over 6 years the only amp you will ever need.

#1 choice: ALPINE
end of sugestions
stable, reliable, more power than you need!
i have twin MRV-T757's runing a pair of type-r 10's
also use a Phoenix Gold 20 farad Powercore to save the battery/alternator from these beasts

Ahhhh Priceless . . .

for bass I say rockford fosgate; Ive had a few systems in my day and they all were great. Right now I have an Alpine MRP T220 pushing factory front speakers and 6x9 Xpoldes in the back. Sounds clean as hell even with my craptacular wiring job

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

zapco! the ref 750w amp pushes my W7 quite nicely

zapco isn't a bad brand. i've just had really really really good luck with rockford. and i've tried almost every manufacturer out there for both amps and subs.

I ve got a JL 500/1 running 2 12" alpine type R's with an alpine iva-d300 and clairon component's all aroundd. All my frineds tell me its the best sounding out of all ours.

Best bang for the buck imo: JBL 1200.1 I've blown two audiobahn 15"s with it, and before that hit 143.8 in a sealed box. I've had mine for three years without a hiccup. if your planning on running those 3 mtx's your gonna need a reliable amp. alot of them aren't 1 ohm stable and that should be what your amp will see. (assumming the subs are 4 ohm SVC's)

the jbl is nice but i think but i thought it was 2ohm stable . the hifonics brutus series are great

Agree with the above poster on amp selection. I would get that amp and some Solobaric L7's. You can find some 10 inch L7's at the Fry's website if they still have them for about $100 a pop. You system will slap hella hard with that setup.
