I'm thinking of purchasing 2 Alpine Type R 12D2 subwoofers, powered by a hifonics zues 2400 watt mono amp. Also what box would you recommend for this? New to the car audio world.
Type R's are pretty solid. They like big ported boxes. If you look on ebay you'll find some boxes built for type R's that are around 1.5-2cf and tuned pretty low, low to mid 30's. They actually specify around 1.3cf net in the manual, but I'm pretty sure they model better in larger boxes.
The HF is decent. You won't get close to rated power out of it, but that's not a huge problem. Type r's should work well on ~700 or so which I think is about what you'll get out of that amp (1400).
