amp, sub recommendations

Which amp(s) would work best on a pair of Alpine SWR-1042D subs at a 2 ohm load?

whichever fits into your budget What enclosure do you plan on using with these subs?? Please don't say sealed

They are going into a 07 Cobalt which means limited space. Recommendations on an enclosure?

Type R's sound like dog crap in sealed boxes. If you have room for a 3 cu ft net ported enclosure than they will sound very good.

You either need a single amp that can do 1000 watts rms at 1 or 4 ohm , or 2 500 watts rms amps that can do it at 2 ohms each. I like to stick with one amp, if you want to stick with Alpine and can afford it, look at the PDX-1.1000 BUT, if you can return the subs and get 2 SWR-1022D's, than look at a MRP-M1000.2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

I'd like to hear recommendations for a subwoofer setup.I have a 07 Chevy Cobalt with a I have a Pioneer DEH-P600UB head unit (Cobalt’s have limited trunk space and I'm unsure of exact dimensions but we can use the entire trunk space).I listen to rap and techno music.I want a crisp big bass sound and i don't care what it sounds like outside my car. The system is for my enjoyment, not flashing it off to my neighbors.I'm looking to spend $2000-2500.Need any other qualifiers to make a recommendation?

I completely disagree that Type-R's sound like dog crap in sealed boxes. I ran two 12" Type-R's in a "temporary" setup (working at best buy, got them cheap with the discount) each in a 1.2 cu ft fiberglass sealed enclosure, dynamated sedan with a clean 600w at 4 ohms to each woofer and they sounded pretty clean. Not amazing but pretty much on par, if not slightly better SQ, with most mainstream $200 subwoofers.

On subs/amp/box alone? That seems really disproportional considering the price of your head unit and the alpine type-r's you are mentioning.     I'm really confused. -JustinMalcom: "This is the captain.

Thats a decent head unit. What would i gain by getting a more expensive one? Nothing from what i can tell. My post with a $2000 price range was originally a separate topic because i wanted to avoid confusion with the Type Rs being part of this budget, but one of the moderators moved it into this topic. The $2000 price range is not with consideration to the type Rs and was meant to be a seperate discussion.
