Amp for Single 12" Type R?!?

[sasilverbacks 10+ year member]

Hey everyone..I know this is probably a very common post, but I couldnt' find any topics that were exact the same as my question. Anyways, I have a single 12" Alpine Typre R DVC 2ohm sub, and am looking for a perfect fit in terms of an amplifier. I am looking for something mono, and hopefully under $250ish.

I know alot of you are powering the Type R with more continuous RMS then the sub is rated at, but I am looking for a very solid amp that won't kill the sub but also won't underpower it. Let me know on any suggestions!

One last thing, what do you guys recommend for an amplifier wiring kit in terms of brand name/gauge, etc. Thanks a million!

i know the R can handle lots of power so you could probably give it like 600or 700wrms jst fine. you have to be one ohm stable too. unless you wanna run at 4 ohms
