Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 11 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok, I am going to be ordering a alpine type R soon, and I don't know what amp to get. I know they make two diff. type R's, the dual 2 ohm and 4 ohm. So what do you guys think??? (It's just one sub) What amp powers the type R best for the money? Thanks!!! |

Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 12 Registered: Aug-05 | no need to upgrade, I feel that that will be enough power for me. |
Silver Member Username: Livin_loudPost Number: 475 Registered: Jan-06 | Well then Rovin has the right idea. I'd personally go with the 2ohm sub... |
Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 13 Registered: Aug-05 | Alright, on response to the previous post, If I go wit the 2 ohm sub, how would this amp perform? http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6521.html I have heard things about hifonics amps. Thanks for the help!!! |
Silver Member Username: Livin_loudPost Number: 477 Registered: Jan-06 | Those are overrated a little bit, but they are decent amps This would work pretty good http://sonicelectronix.com/item_2748.html |

Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 14 Registered: Aug-05 | Alright, yah I was thinkin bout that. Do you know of any reliable companys on there? |
Silver Member Username: Livin_loudPost Number: 480 Registered: Jan-06 | Just go by the feedback. I usually only buy if a person has 98% or more, and has a decent amount, say over 100 |
Silver Member Username: UdaiPost Number: 215 Registered: Dec-04 | I read about people giving their R's over 800wrms all day long without a problem (also a good amount running over 1kwrms). Check out the caraudio.com forum-type r thread. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 9871 Registered: Jul-05 | that PG amp Eric pointed out is a good choice in that it puts out no matter what ohms ur sub is ..... |
