Calling RE 12 XXX owners Amp Rec. Needed

ermmm, i have recently purchased a xxx, now the rms is 1600w from the specs given by re. i have used an alpine mrd-1005 amp, this allows a 1000w rms figure and a 1800w spl burst. the sub runs like a beauty at 1000w, 1200 or 1600 is a bonus. however the amp you need is entirely upto you, because on one hand alpine amps along with the head units are very musical whereas a rockford amp or something around that area would push your sub hard. so depending on what you want, but why are you looking at a tantrum amp, its an older model from phoenix but yet it is still good.

now i've looked into some amps and over here in england you can get a Digital designs DDM1 amp for around £450, so take a look over in canada for the price on that it reaches 1200w at 1 ohm and gives a 1760w spl burst, now the MRD-1005 alpine amp is dead cheap over here only £280 and its a fully digital class d amp. If i were you get the dual 2 ohm version as it can be wired to 1 ohm parallel or 4 ohm series. good luk
