I'm an audio NOOB. Is this a good setup? Will it work?
Hi guys, I don't know much about audio, but I want something that will be punchy and not sloppy and gross sounding. I have no intention of getting rid of the stock HU so hopefully I can just add this sub and this amp. I'm hoping it won't weigh the rear of my car down because I have H&R springs and I don't want the rear to sag. Anyway, here are the 2 products:
amp: Alpine MRD-M605 - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1099388650996
sub: (can't decide if I want the 10 or a 12, how much lighter would the 10 be than the 12? Is there that much of a difference btw 10 and 12?) Alpine SWR-1042D: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1108124880920
Alpine SWR-1242D - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1108124880979
Thanks for any input guys!

OK, so you're looking at spending $560 plus a box plus amp install.
I'd say that you might get your FM reception jammed by the Class D amp...
While you might have trouble getting more power for that money, you can definitely get a better woofer, and the amp is really hard to tune due to how they laid it out...
Personally I'd get a JL 12W3V2 for that price - or a DLS Magnesium 12".
