Hey guys, noob here. I going to buy two Alpine 12" Type R's and need to know whether or not I should buy the 2 ohm or 4 ohm type, both are DVC and I plan on using a mono amp at 2 ohms. Also how should I wire them so that the amp sees the 2 ohm load?

The amps I looking at getting are between these 3:KICKER DX700.1(Refurbished), Kicker KX400.1, JBL BP 600.1 . I can get them all for about the same price. I think both the Kickers have one set of wire inputs but the JBL has 2. Could you let know how to wire the subs for both types of wire inputs?

you want a pair of DVC 2+2ohm subs.
wiring each sub's coils in series, then wiring the subs to the mono amp in parallel will yield your 2 ohm load.

Those type R 12" do well with between 300-500 watts each, depending on the type of box you plan to use.
