what amp would fit this setup??

[bentchetler]

So I know you guys probably won't enjoy this but I am trying to be thrifty with my new setup and I am hopping on some dual 4ohm type r's. I will be getting 2 12's and hopefully a custom ported box built to the subs specs. what amp will push these well and be reliable for me? thanks in advance for any input.

I would go with this, its a solid amp, easy on the eyes, and wont hurt your pockets to much.

PPI black ice 1800 for $195 shipped

what rms will that run each of the subs at?

Wired up right each will see 900 watts. I ran some at 750 watts each with a subsonic filter on them and I think you should be conservative with the gain if your going to run the bk1800 on them. I don't know if they will really take their 1000 watt rms rating

This amp is discontinued, and people have gotten burned by that store after ordering discontinued product that's no longer in stock. Buyer beware.

they will take the 1000 watt rating.. i know from experience also you have to take rise and voltage drop to in affect as well. Wiring at 1ohm after rise & voltage drop it will probably be at 2ohms+ so the subs wont be seeing the 1800watts anyway

How much are you comfortable spending? Depending on your vehicle you might need to go with a smaller amp than the 1,800W that's been recommended.

New models are coming. All I know is what's shown on the Precision Power web site. I haven't gotten a 2014 catalog yet.

Hifonics is always a good bet on a budget, keep in mind when buying cheaper amps you need to feed them properly with your electrical system (batteries and alternators) just keep an eye on it with the new amp. Cheaper amps are typically less efficient- this isn't "always" the case though.

i have no set budget right now, I just want to find a good deal on an amp that will compliment the two type r's and be reliable.

What vehicle do you have? It's not clear that you understand the electrical demands yet. Amplifiers need stable voltage and current to work properly, and if you have a tiny 80 amp alternator you have no business running a 1.5-2K amp. That's why you've been asked about your electrical system.
