I was thinking of getting one Image Dynamics IDQ12 D4 V.2 sub for the price, the good reviews and the compact box volume requirements.

Now I can't decide one which amp is best suited for this sub. I have the following choices:
Alpine MRP-M350 350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
Kicker KX400.1 400W x 1 @ 2 ohms

Which amp would you guys recommend?

 

if those were the choices id get the kicker.

 

what else would you recommend?

 

arc audio... Id prolly put a jl 500/1 on it...

 

add DLS to that list... a little cheaper than ARC and just as good if not better (from what i hear... i've never owned an arc amp)... of those two choices i'd go with the kicker, that amp will power it just fine.

 

I'll second ARC, great quality...probably twice as much as the amps you listed though.

 

or you can buy my complete setup
2-12" alpine type e's and sealed box
1-rockford 500bd amp pushing 670wts, never at full power, has bass controller
all wiring...
325?

 

well i'm puting this behind the 3rd row seat in a land cruiser and space is limited to about 13 inches deptwise..

and im located in palm coast, 30 miles north of daytona so i can't pick it up.

 

check out this place. they got the idq12 for 160 and free shipping. Image dynamics subwoofers are awesome. My brother has two idq10s that i built a box for, and they are some of the best i have ever heard.

You should look into an amp that has a remote gain so that you can turn off the sub if need be. It helps when there are cops around and stuff.

 

ARC 2100cxl

In fact I ran that exact setup for a little while, after my previous sub amp burned up, sounded pretty darn good!
