    I have a ram quad cab and this is what I'm looking to put in but i have some questions and concerns...

    HU: Alpine 9856 (from my old truck)
    Clarion 7 band equalizer

    Highs Amp: Alpine F600
    Fronts : 6.5" Alpine Type - R Components
    Rear : 6.5" Alpine Type - R Coaxials

    Subs Amp : Alpine M1000 or Alpine PDX 1.1000 or something else?
    Subs: 2) Alpine 1222's OR 1242s?
    Box : Ground Shaker dual sealed 12" box that fits under the back seat.
    the box has 1.85 ft3 total volume

    Questions:
    1) will the f600 amp put out enough juice for the door speakers or should i go with something more powerful.. its rated for 4x100/4x150w

    2) Will one of these alpine sub amps be powerful enough to properly power 2 of these 12s or should i look into something else

    3)Do i get dual 2 ohm, or dual 4 ohm subs? the last thing i want to do is under power the subwoofers with an amp that will only be putting out 200watts per sub.

    4)Due to the small volume of the sub box.. should i go with 2) 10s instead? or stick with 12s


    Appreciate the help.

    The f600 should be good as the type r comps are 110wrms. As for sub amp the M1000 will power either of your sub choices just fine as they are only 500wrms. You want to go with the 2 ohm subs
