Hey will a Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bd run an Alpine Type X (12") just fine? Or is it underpowered?

t1000 puts out 750w rms @ 2ohm to your type x

There is nothing wrong with underpowering as long as it is a clean signal. Too often people get this confused just don't turn everything up and think it will be fine you must have everything adjusted correctly...!

^^ Truth.

Research clipping, and what makes a clean signal.

don't go off the rated power of the amp, Rockford under rates their amplifiers. You should have a PVC stating the amps actual power. The T1000-1bd puts out around 1400watts @ 1ohm
