I was wondering if my amp could push 2 alpine type Rs. my amp is a 1200 watt, 4 channel kenwood amp.
if it wont work what would be the best amp for me that is under 250 $?

for a pair of type R subs, look at www.audioque.com
see the AQ1200D amplfiier. $249 shipped.
It'll put out 1200WRMS into a 1 ohm load.

you wanna avoid multi channel amps with subs. 2 channels tops but if you can you want a monoblock. just makes things much simpler

soundstorm, boss, pyle, pyramid, and dual are all in the crap category. theyre uber cheap, but you get what you pay for there. i would never reccomend any of that unless you just want the cheapest bass you can find

okay man first off, what are you looking to get out of this system? do you want something that sounds clean, or just loud? kenwood is another budget company but maybe a notch above those other brands

i sure hope its dual 2 cuz dual 4 will make it quite a bit more difficult to find an amp that would fit

My understanding is, he has a pair of dual 4 ohm coil type R subs.
As I said already, the AQ1200D is your best solution with your budget. That would be 600WRMS per sub with coils and subs in parallel.

sorry glasswolf i had been working on this post for a little while and didnt see you had replied too. If the subs are indeed dual for ohms, then hes right, that aq1200d will be excellent

dual 4 ohm subs, ywah 1 ohm load, aq1200d.
if he has dual 2 ohm, he'll want to wire to a 2 ohm load. Then he has several options, including maybe the Alpine MRD1000 (if I remembered that right)
