[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2144916, member: 561023"] It doesn't state specifically whether that is a Dual VC driver or not but I would guess just from reading that it isn't a DVC driver. It also does not list that a 2 Ohm option was available for that model sub? I'm a bit lost here... I guess to address your original question with your current amp and the desire to drive a Type R with it if it were me I would do this: Buy the Dual 4 Ohm version of the Type R and then wire the coils in parallel to achieve a nominal 2 Ohm load like so ~ [IMG]http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_4ohmDVC_2ohm.gif[/IMG] That load is safe for your amp and will allow you to get the biggest power your amp is capable of making (while still being within the safe power limits for that particular sub) After that call it a day and Bump Away!!
