how much room do you have? if you have enough room for two r's you should have enough for two bls'.

The amp doesn't require much space unless you get a big D class or possibly a 5 or 6 channel amp.Like Ctmike said if you have room for 2 Type Rs you SHOULD,not saying for sure but you should have room for 2 BLs.12s aren't that big anyhow you should be able to fit them no problem.I've seen hundreds of cars with dual 12 set-ups,it's probably the most common install.

yea i ges ure right.. i gess mayeb if i wana be satisied cuz i ant be guarantee satified wiht r's so maybe just save a lil more and but the bl's get em dual 4 ohm wiht a kx1200.1 amp but wouldnt that be good for just one cuz one of those amps isnt gonna be oushin those pl's only half power maybe

yeah, one 1200.1 would only really push one bl. you'll probably want about 1200-1800wrms on each one, depending on options you get on the sub.

More cone area... 1 to 1 things would be a little different... But Im figuring the R wouldnt like 1500W on it either (Im sure Ill get corrected on that as I have limited experience with them...)

Thanks,
Scott

imagine, people have 2500d's to two type R's and from what i hear they take it with np's...i'm running a bxi2006d for my 2 R's and thinkin about gettin another one. one amp per sub.

i'd be really careful putting a 2006 on each r. even though hifonics overrates there amps that's still about 1700wrms to each r. daily, i wouldn't do it.

2 Type R's would be louder then 1 BL in a good install but 1700rms each is way to much for daily on them... you need like 2 BL's for that..i just got my friends Type R 12's in today, so pretty. Im going to install them tomorrow on 1.4Krms in some temp boxes i have until we build the new one... they are like 1.5cu and 42hz i believe.. just need a new 12" cutout for them... take me 5 minutes... but that much power way to much for the R... maybe get some X's... but i dont think the SQ on those is as good as the R.. from what i hear
