Will this Amo work with the alpine type r 10?
Well i got this system for free basically. Came with the Sony xm-ds1300p5 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...0P5-Xplod.html
Says it can put out 400 watts at 2 ohms. I might be getting a 10 inch alpine type r dual 4ohm. Can it be wired down to 2 ohm? Right now im running a 10 inch Rockford Fosgate p2. Thanks guys!

The Alpine Type-R is a 1000k RMS rated sub. Your amp will work but it will be very weak output.
There are affordable amps in the $100 range to push the Alpine.
Also, there are much better subs than the Alpine for the same price.
The Dual 4 ohm would be wired to a 2 ohm load on the amp.

Hey guys so the sub i got is a alpine type r 1021d. ts rated for 300 watts rms and 1000 watt peak. Its a dual 2 ohm so i can only run it at 4 or 1 ohm. MY amp puts out 200 watts at 4ohms and 400watts at 2ohms, but crutchfields website says the max output is 400watts at 4ohms and 800watts at 2ohms. How can i get the max output of 400 watts? Right now i believe its only getting 200. Sony XM-DS1300P5 200W x 1 mono subwoofer amplifier at Crutchfield.com

I believe you're getting confused on the RMS rating vs the Max or Peak rating.
RMS is the true power rating, meaning the amp is capable of delivering the RMS output under all normal loads and circumstances.
Max or Peak wattage, is what the amp is capable of delivering for a very short burst when the load is right and the power is available. Generally speaking, this number is just an inflated non important stat.
You match your subs & amps based on RMS ratings.
So you've paired a 300 watt RMS sub with a 200 watt RMS amp. Which is okay, it just means the sub isn't receiving as much power as you could safely run.
It also means the small 200watt amp might be clipping if you've got it at full gain and you're maxing your volume out.
So there's no better way to pair your sub and amp (no changing wiring etc) you're at your best for those pieces of equipment.
