I dont really think it would power the type r's very well. It doesnt matter whether you get hte 04's or 05's really not too much difference. I would say go with two 10" alpine type e's from crutchfield. They have a deal right now where you can buy one and get one free so you would only pay about $100 if that for two type e's which is a pretty dang good deal IMO.

Type E are alpines lowest... like the mtx road thunders. I got the road thunder ones and they are pretty poor excuse for a sub imo. u should try Type S subs. Type R is probably a little to much especially with 2. Also those legacy amps kind of exagerate there power.. I had a 250x2 one (it said 500 total on the box) but its rms was 50 or something shitty like that. IMO u should sell it and get a new amp but if u dont want to, try for 2x type S or maybe 1 type R but I doubt it could do 2 type R's well

when did he say anything about 2 of them all i saw was an 04 or 05, and why wouldnt it power it the type r's power range is 300-1000, and that amp says 600x2 1200w blah blah, i would hope it would atleast put out 600w which i doubt it even does that lol since its only like $130

honestly the new type r's dont sound half bad up at best buy we threw a old 200 watt jensen on one last night in a sealed box and it didnt sound half bad. it was really under powered but it defiantly gave a little thump actually a lot more than i thought it would do. but the new E's are nice as well either way you'll be happy.
