anything that puts out around 700rms but I would suggest getting 2 Type R's or 1 Type R 15 before the Type X. The Type X is a under-performer

2 10's in the proper box will amaze you. the Type R's are underrated and I suggest putting around 500 to 600rms to each one. A good amp for cheap if you can find one is a JBL BP 1200.1, I used one on my 12W7 and it did really good for the $200 I paid. They are also known to be a lil bit underrated.

yup i got 600 watts rms running my type-r, sounds gr8. the new type-r's are rated at 500 watt rms ( not like the old ones that were only 300 rms)

i just went to a nearby PACIFIC STEREO and they said that almani was better than the type r and type x. and much cheaper. 12" $180 and a 2000w amp for $200. so i'm gonna do my homework on that stuff now. but that sounds like a sweet deal. oh and my music is mostly rock and some dance/trance stuff. to give you an idea of how i'm going to do my setup, just look at how cutt did his. mine is going to be very similar.
