I have a pair of Alpine Type-R's dual 4 ohm version. I currently have them parallel to a 2 ohm load at the amp. I fear as though my amp sucks (i know this for a fact its a Volfenhag). My question to the amp gurus is what amp i should use for the pair. I could always parallel the remaining wires to a 1 ohm load to a mono block. Wondering what kind of amp would be the best.

Power Handling

* Power Range: 200 - 500 Watts

* RMS Power Handling: 500 Watts

* Peak Power Handling: 1500 Watts

Dimensions

* Mounting Depth: 195 mm (7.7'')

* Mounting Diameter: 275 mm (10.9'')

* Displacement: 0.071 cu. ft (Front Mount)

* Added Volume: 0.085 cu. ft. (Reverse Mount, Magnet Out)

General

* Frequency Response: 25Hz - 500Hz

While I'm in the market I also have a pair of RE-SX12's waiting in the wings perhaps I could get some recommendations on an amp for those. Both are DVC 2 ohm.

sundown1500d-type R

Kicker ZX2500.1-RESXs

or

2 sundown 1200ds or AQ1200ds on RESXs

So you're only running one coil on each driver?

i'm running both coils on each driver

thanks for the heads up shizzz i've really been looking at the sundowns i've seen alot of high power systems using them so i'm sure they are good

preorder sundown 2000d, and save some money.

the new 2000d are more than the older 1500d although they are gorgeous.

even better.
