Yes, it is preferred to get a dedicated monoblock for sub... the MRP-F240 might not have enough juice to drive the type E sub cleanly at large volumes, if you are not careful, it may lead to premature death of the sub (running square wave, from an over-driven amp, into any speakers is always a no no).
Here's my sub setup, still on my other car that is...
Amp: Alpine MRP-M350 (200W RMS 4ohm, 350W RMS 2ohm)
Sub: Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1D, dual coils wired in parallel for 2ohm, 350W recommended input power, 1400W burst.
Sub case: 0.6cu.ft. sealed
Both the above were bought in the US of A, amp was US$150, sub US$120. Sub case and installation done here locally, RM350.

that's it, it is decided then. After what happened last nite when my expansion tank leaked Expansion Tank leaked. I have cut my budget for the ICE and moreover, really now dont want to spend too much on a car that I may not keep very long.
And so, I will most probably get the Alpine Active Sub 8" type so that i can just put it in the boot and remove whenever i want to put more luggage or when i change car!!
Tried the Alpine 6.5" to see where it can be put in the car but unfortunately though small in size cant be put anywhere without sticking out like a sore thumb since it is bright silver in colour. Seems too thick to be under the seat also. And if placed under the glove box, it can still be seen by potential thieves.
p/s: My colleague nice DVD set in the car entertainment system got stolen recently in SS2. Strangely the car was stolen and driven away only to be found with the whole ICE system gone!
