It's nice to pick amp and subs in relation to each other. I believe those subs are available as dual 2ohm as well. If u planned what amp u were running before now, it would've opened up your choices to running a one ohm or 2 ohm stable amp. Alpines m1000 (2ohm stable) works very well on 2 TypeRs. There are lots of one ohm stable amps though. Are u looking to buy local or Internet? What's available locally?

You've got a decent budget for the amp. I'd suggest looking around your local retailers and see who's got the most power for the least price. If buying a major name brand amp you can pretty much guarantee it's putting out rated power.
