About $350. The amp is new and comes with a full warranty. Retail is about $550.

the alpine amp he wants to put on them, supposing the subs are dvc 4ohm a coil, so wired in parallel it would be 2 ohm put the two subs in parallel together then they will be 1ohm that alpine amp can't handle a 1ohm load.
it is stable at 2 ohm.
now the directed amp can put out 1400rms a 4 ohm, if you get that amp wire the subs so that the coils on one sub are ran in a series, and the other sub also. this will make each sub a 8ohm then run each sub in parallel and hook it up to the amp, this will bring the load to a 4ohm load and work perfect for the type r's
if anyone sees something wrong with what i said just let me know
I was thinking about two dvc 2ohm subs and wiring them both as a 2ohm load. That way the subs would see about 1000 watts.
