amps are always a fun one to pick. depends how much you want to spend on amps. I live my crossfire there amps are sick!!! rockford makes good subs and amps to.... like 10 years ago anyway. But I have a Crossfire VR1000D. Max of 1200ams ( but as of crossfire they always go over kill on everything) this amp really puts out 1300! :D I picked this amp up for $300 comes with the external bass controler you can mount up front. This amp would beat the CRAP out of your type-r's!!! But I bet it would sound great!

yeh the crossfire is relle niice looking, reminds me of my alpine one but in white
the price says $400-$600
yeh i would get it but i think ill go with the rockford just cause its cheaper for me to get.
then that way i can power my single type-r with the fosgate amp
and then power my two other type-r's with my old alpine amp (which i think is 1000 - 1200 watts) and use my third amp to power my 700 watt tweaters for a clearer sound... add a couple of type-r component speakers and im set :D :D
thnxz for the input!

go with the 300 doller amp but remember buy good amps because they can make a krapie sub sound good
