Umm, this is a question for a friend, and to tell you the truth im not sure i know what that means, but i guess your asking ohms? and im pretty sure they are 2 ohm?

yeah, Type R's come in either 2 ohm or 4 ohm DVC...that's what I'm asking.

If they're two ohms, you want an amp that can do around 1kW at 2 ohms...

Any suggestions on a few good ones? and thanks for help

Use an amp that can provide around 500-750 W RMS (can handle more in the right box, but thats a whole other convo)

If he has dual 4 ohm voice coil subs, then the load will be either 1(most common way to configure), 4, or 16 ohms to the amp. If he has dual 2 ohm voice coil subs, then the load will be either .5, 2(most common way to configure) or 8 ohms.

Look for an amp that provides the power in either the 1 or 2 ohm loads (depends on the sub configuration)

What is his price range?

what model subs do you have?

the SWR-1541D or SWR-1521D

Umm not sure i would assume 400? if that is resonable? or maybe too much? but of course if there is a reliable, quality amp for less please inform me of those aswell....

 

[ANeonRider 10+ year member]

Well, I, nor anyone else, can offer any suggestions until you find out what subs they are....

They are 15" Type Rs 2ohm

If he really doesnt care about money then go for the Alpine-M1000. This is a quality amp but they run around $500, maybe less on ebay.

However if money is an issue, then possibly go with the Hifonics 1500BX. The go for half the price at around $250.

However do a little more research since I am not a total expert at this stuff but this is just what I would do.
