Which of these two amps would you recomend for a Type r 10"
Here are the amps:
Which one would be better for a Type R 10" sub 500RMS-600RMS?
Which one is made with better quality/durability in mind?
If you guys have an amp that you would like to recommend for about the same price or less, please do so!

Me personaly, id go with the hifonics. it may not be cea rated power, but its damn close. another thing i look at is fuse ratings. i think the alpine has 2 20amp fuses where as the hifonics has a 80. there for the hifonics should produce more power.
my gf has that alpine amp pusing 2 10" type s's in her truck. sounds good and its a damn powerful little amp. i have a 1600watt hifonics amp pushing a 10" RE audio SX, and it pounds the **** outta that poor little thing. its way over powered. i used to push to 12" type R's with it without a problem.

Latch what type of sub do you have and what's the RMS and Peak wattage?
These are the subs that I'm looking into getting.
type r swr-1022d 500watts RMS 1,500Watts Max
type r swr-1023d 600watts RMS 1,800watts Max
type r swr-1042d 500watts RMS 1,500Watts Max
type r swr-1043d 600watts RMS 1,800watts Max
I've been reading that sub can get damaged if it's underpowered. I'm leaning towards the 1022d or the 1042d (Both 500RMS) However, I was told that the alpine mrp-m500 (500RMS) will supply a Type R with a nice amount of power, but it won't elevate the Type R to it's true potential. I don't want to damage my sub and I want to get the most out of a Type R.
What do you guys say?
Thanks,
Joel

The Hifonics looks like it would put out more power but in a slightly larger package (Alpine is 10-11/16"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-9/16"D; Hifonics is 13-1/2"L x 8-13/16"W x 2-7/16"H).
Personally, I am very pleased with that Apline - I use it to push a single 10", 4-ohm DVC Alpine Type R wired for 2 ohms stuffed in a stealth box, and IMO, it sounds very good in my Camaro. I'm sure there are louder setups out there, but this combo gives enough bass that I can actually make it too loud for me, which is all I need. I already managed to **** my wife off by playing it too loud when I was out in the garage - apparently, it was shaking the stuff in the kitchen (the kitchen and the garage share a wall). She got over it
