what amp should i get for two alpine type r 12 2 ohm?

[mazda6]

i just bought a 2005 mazda 6 and i just got my custom ported box fit to specs with my two alpine type r 2 ohm subs that just got here today also. the only problem is i dont know what amp to get... i thought about a Kenwood Kac-9105D 1800-Watt Class D Mono Amplifier but i heard it is not good. any suggestions are appreciated since i would like to figure out a amp so i can get one tomorrow thanks

id try and find a used kicker 1500, a rockford t1500, or and audioque 2200, sundown 2500, dd m2a, a budget would really help

brz1200@.5 ohm

the guy is too new to the audio world to be running an amp at .5ohm. he prolly isnt ready to invest the money in the electrical that is needed to run .5 no offense to the op just trying to be realistic here. only amp i might suggest he run at .5 is a dd m1c or an ia 20.1 but a kicker 1500 is easier to obtain hell even an alpine pdx m12 would work well or him

Get ahold of Kangaroux on here. He's got a nice used MRP m1000 Alpine. Be perfect for the Type R's and it does 1000 @ 2 ohm so it's nice and easy on your electrical. I was even nice enough to go get the link. In my opinion OP this is about your best and cheapest option for what you're working with.
