How many Type R's?
If it's only two subs, wire them like this:

Sure they are a good sub. The question is what are you doing about the box. Good sound is all about the box. Read the stickies about boxes and box design for more info.

You should be fine, but set your gains correctly.  Do a search in this forum for "gain" if you don't know how.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

i have a slot ported box that is 1.75 cubic feet per chamber i built it myself to specs for some infinity's but when i was looking at the alpine i noticed they need 1.75 cubic feet for a ported encloser as well

Then all you might need to do is change the porting on it.

Do you know what the box is tuned to or how long the ports are?
