Should i buy a Pioneer 760 watt amp to power 2 Alpine type-S 10" Subwoofers ?

I think that for two tens that will be more than enough power. its almost too much. If you want to get really loud I think its better to get another sub and run lower watts. Possibly you could get a 12 with the two 10s so you get good low base but its still clear and hits hard cause of the 10s. Just think about it. You don't want to push your subs to the limit. If you want more out of them you should at to them but don't bust them.

you could also try looking at what the RMS for the subs is. and then compair to that of the sub with it either bridged or running 2 ch's

no, mixing and matching sub sizes is a bad idea, two different sizes of subs will cancel out frequencies and make everything sound like shit.

dont get that pioneer 760watt amp. although the numbers look impressive, you can get a nicer amp with a little less power to it and it will hit harder and sound much clearer and better than the pioneer. The higher the watts doesnt mean the better the amp.

If you spend, say, $200 for some 1800watt 4ch pyramid amp it will get blown away in reliability, sound quality, and most likely loudness to a higher quality amp. Look at fosgates, precision power, alpine, eclipse, and mtx. Look for a 2ch that is rated at over half the RMS of one of the subs for one channel and you will be very pleased.

depends on what frequencies the subs are playing. if they are playing a difference range of hz, then he should be fine. hell..richard clark's back to back IASCI championship car consist of 15" for the low end frequencies and the 12" for midbass. just gotta know how to work the system

the amp is rated 150x2@4ohm watts RMS so its not even too much for them. little underpowered.
