Alpine CDA-9855
Alpine MRD-M605
Alpine SWR-1222D x2 in a sealed box
Alpine KCE-511M (Head unit -> amp link)

I already have these for speakers:
Infinity Kappa 462.7cfp
Infinity Kappa 693.7i

backstory: car was broken into & my headunit, subs & amp were stolen, so with the insurance money, i'll be replacing my old components with the new alpine stuff

so what do you guys think?

and I forgot to say, I'll be running the subs so the amp sees a 2ohm load & since the amp is rated @ 600w rms @ 2ohms, that'll be 300w per sub

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I think it would be a pretty nice setup. Alpine is good stuff. My gf has a 12" type S in a sealed box with a mrp-m350 amp and it's a nice sq setup.

those subs can take approx. 500wrms a piece, so if you wanted a little more power, I'd get a bigger amp. but 300 to each sub would be alright. that's just my opinion.

Oh Blowntweeters without a doubt will either recommend soundstream products or ikesound.com, it was a joke.

So, basically, it a "Huh? Tigers? In Africa!?!" kind of thing...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
