Ok well i figured out i need around 6-800 RMS for the both of them..
So, probably looking around for like a 1000 watt amp.
What would happen if i was to put like a 600 maxx watt amp to run them both?
Would i get bad sound quality? How would this effect the subs?
6-800 rms might be a lil too much for that sub.
depending on how you wire it 300-400 amp should do it. the rms for a type s dvc is 200 watts and 400 max i believe.

Ok...
If they are each 400 max then thats around 800..
How would a 300-400 amp be big enough?

lol 600-800RMS...Type R's are only 300watts RMS max...how would your Type S's be more?
Would you consider ordering online? Or does it have to be here in Calgary?

I might consider ordering online... As long as its from Canada.. Why?
I meant 600 RMS for the both or them.. or that is what i was told...
I think a 500 watt amp is sufficient for both.

Ok Thanks..
Could you guys point me in the right direction now company wise?
Alpine, MTX, whos good and whos not?
Thanks again
alpine is always a good choice but they cost money
im baised and geared towards jbl. they are cheaply priced but got tons of power. i think a jbl 300.1 or a 600.1 would be good for your setup

Ok Thanks a ton guys!!!
What is jbl's website?
jbl.com
you can buy jbl amps for cheap at ikesound.com or off ebay they wont go over 300 cdn for the 600.1 i believe.. thats what i got mine for

I think alpine makes a pretty good amp, and makes alright power. But I am in love with Audison amps. I think they are some of the best amps on the market, and I am sure that the SRx Mono block amp would be perfect for those subs.
www.audison.com
You can also go check them out at Audio Concepts Mobile on 32nd Ave N.E.
if you really want some bang for your buck i'd recommend the
ALPINE V-12 amp costs a fair ammount but lots of power with some in reserve
Thanks for the help guys but i think im gonna have to go with Thi_Thi Subs on this one. Checked out the 600.2 on the Jbl site and it looks perfect.
Looks like i can pick one up for about $220 USD on Ebay.
are you sure you want to bid on ebay?
at sounddomain.com where i buy all my stuff its 219.95 but at least i know i will get the product.
if you do buy it off ebay look at it for a price of 180-200 USD dont buy if its more than that

OHHH ok...
Thanks again man!!!
Hey man im looking at the JBL Power PX600.2. They want $319.95 USD on sounddomain.com
Where do you see 219.95? The 600.1 is only 1 channel and i need a 2 channel for both my subs. You weren't thinking one 600.1 for each of my subs were you?
Ok never mind i'm being a DUMB ASS!!!
I can hook up the 600.1 to both correct?
It says "2 or 4 Channel Inputs Allow for Non-Fading Bass "
:tongue:
A single 600.1 can run both subs if you wire it right. If you want 2 channel, I saw a 600.2 at IKESOUND.com for 230US. Ebay is fine if you know how to pick the sellers.Originally posted by SAiamNE

And I will second JBL (I don't have one but I will definately recommend it - great price, great output and best bang for your buck).
EDIT - We must have posted at the same time
