Good amp for Type R?

[Puppet Master 10+ year member]

Does anyone know of a good amp for 2 12 Type R's? The one I have now(MA Audio MA689i), just doesn't do it for me. I'm not looking to go too high in the price department either. Thanx

on a budget? Look no further, Hifonics may just have what you're looking for. Sound like a sales man? creepy...

If you can locate a Orion 1200d or a Hifonics BX1606d.

Like this http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/4369

If you have a bit more to spend (That's recommendid) look at a kicker 1200.1 or a Fosgate T10001bd.

Can that amp be used for both subs, or would I have to buy two of those? Kind of a noobie question, but I am not sure, so, fire away //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If the subs are dual 4ohm subs, yes. They can be used on both.

I currently have one MA689i amp which, according to the site, can give off 800 watts at one channel bridged. Could I just get another one of the 689i, and get some good power? Would 800 to each sub be too much?

800 Is Good!

The RMS for Type R's is 500 though, wouldn't 800 be overpowering them? I don't want to get them, thne have to go back to my MA's right away

The maaudio amp is most likely overated.Go with the BXi 1606D the new one the bxi and run it at 1 ohm and you should be set. http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BRUTUS-BXI-1606D-1600W-AMPLIFIER-BXI1606D-NEW_W0QQitemZ280000870754QQihZ018QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

well umm lets just say that my type R will be getting 1400 watts from my hifonics bx1500d, if you use hte search you will see the type R has good power handling capabilities.

Ive never owned them but Im pretty sure people are overpowering those R's all day everyday and they like it.

It's not really over powering them, when your amp isn't producing the power to over power them

If you wish to purchase another MA that will work fine. Your amps will not produce 800 watts. So the Alpine will be fine.
