2 alpine type r 12s *amp help*

No use 4 gauge. And I'd get hifonics Brutus series. 1500 watts at the most

You can find good deals, yes, but copper is copper and true rated wire isn't going to be 'cheap'

Give us a budget.

What voice coils do your subs have?

they are 4 ohms would that make it less powerful?

not the least bit. we just ask so we can recommend amplifiers that will be able to give your subs the best amount of power. the only reason subs come in, for example, dual 4 and dual 2 models, is just so that you can get a desired ohm load with whatever amp that can do X watts at X ohm load

so would the MB Quart 1500 amp be the best for the 4ohm type r? or the hifonics?

Here is the wiring configuration and ohm's law. you will be running two 4 ohm dvc subs in paralell or series. (1 or 4 ohm) Those brutus amps put out between 1200-1500 watts @ 1 ohm depending on which model you get. So whatever amp you get make sure it it 1 ohm stable and make sure you follow the recommended power/ground wire size. for 1200 + watts I would use 1/0 at leastfor ground/power. Are you making an enclosure or using a pre-fab?

its a pre-fab
