FUK corb, he dont know shit
I would say to go for either a JL W3, which is 125RMS, so that would be fine. OR to go for a Diamond Audio, they are pukka.

The MRD-M300 and Type-R are, as TOMAS said, made for each other.

u will need either a DVC 4 ohm x 2 sub or a SVC 2 ohm sub to get the best out of the amp Kris. I have got that amp aswell (paid £80!!!) and am on the lookout for a cheap 12" Alpine Type-R.

2 x 4ohms. NOT the 2x 4ohms. ALL new type R's are dual v.coil subs.
