just kiddin. Give them their rated 500 rms a piece if in a vented enclosure. Or around 600 rms if sealed. Make sure not to under power them. Always go with a bigger amp when in doubt and just keep the gains low.

the type-r's can handle alot, how much are you willing to spend on an amp?

I'd put 600-750 rms on them if you want to push them hard.

If you just want to push them hard enough go with a solid 1kw amp for the pair, and they'll still love you, they'll just love you longer
