What voice coil configuration on the type R's, and how are they wired....and what type of amp?
Also, try using your amp turn on from your deck to trigger a relay.....to turn the amp on.

Have there been any other parts of the car that have had a sudden loss of power?
Any problems starting?
Gauge lights dimmer than usual?
Check your battery connections just to make sure that they are solid.
