[QUOTE="reclessantics, post: 5408864, member: 603282"] Ok relatively speaking, im in college, so im broke. but money won't be too much of an issue, so im wondering what would be a better amp for 2 type r 12's. Ive been reading up, and i know alot of ppl suggest the hifonics 1608. if i went with the hifonics id run it at 1 ohm. Now what gets me is that, its probably not true watts. My subs wont be getting 100% of the 800 RMS that it would be giving to each. So instead i started looking at a kicker zxt (sp) 06 1000watt monoblock. Kicker would be true watts (and then some) and it would be much better matched...(not that it matters to a type r lol) and its not a big deal to wait a paycheck or two more to get the kicker amp, you know? just curious what yall think. ALSO!! - Distortion at lower ohms. on the kick amp, id run it at 2 ohms, and 1 ohm if i run it on the hifonics amp. And in the future (or right off the bat) i might get an alpine amp that i can run at 2/4 ohms and get 1000 watts or something. thanks kyle [/QUOTE]
