I have a lanzar 1600 watt amp. I hooked it up in my car with 2 r10 alpine subs. it was working just fine and now my subs are not working. the fuses are all good and everything is connected right. The power light on the amp does not come on like it did. could the amp be blown or is it another prblem?

Your best bet will be to wire 2 subs in parallel to the amp. Each sub should be rated for at least 300 watts rms at 4 ohms. This will give you a total impedance of 2 ohms, and your amp will put out 600 watts rms at that impedance. That way, each sub will receive 300 wats rms. I would not recommend wiring subs in parallel, as you will need two 1 ohm subs at 300 watts rms, which are harder to find and will be more expensive. A parallel circuit is the most efficient way to do it.
Based solely on spec sheet information the Lanzars can handle 1300 watts RMS and the KX1200 is rated at 300x1 @ 4 ohms, 600x1 @ 2 ohms, & 1200x1 @ 1 ohm. Even with a 1 ohm load you will still only be providing 600 watts to each sub. While the kicker will provide more power at 14+ volts, no car creates more than 12-13 volts via its alternator. A car battery only provides 12.6 volts. So you will be loking at 1200 watts from 1 channel as a best case scenario.
Additionally, with your 2 subs, they will need to both be Dual 4 ohm voice coils in order to net a 1 ohm final load. Each voice coil will need to be wired in parallel and then each speaker needs to be wired in parallel.
i actually have 2 12" type s's and i did the same thing just wanted a cheap amp... i went on ebay and bought a pyramid 1600 super blue series amp..... its 1600 watts and ive also hooked it up to type r's and it POUNDS!!! ill copy and paste the website where i got mine from on ebay... if you tune it right it'll make it so you cant breathe inside your car......http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-1600-WATT-PYRAMID-PB559X-Car-Audio-Amp-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ350169009069QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item5187b30bad
The 2 ohm stable rating on the amp is PER channel meaning that you could effectively hook up a 2 ohm speaker or a 2 ohm load to each channel without the amp getting f"d up-butin bridged mode it will only be 4 ohm stable. to achieve a 4 ohm load with your sub the type x wire the coils in series that will get you at 4 ohms to run in bridged mono .But you will get the exact same amount of power if you wire each coil to one channel of the amp as bridged mono sees the sum of your 2 ohm channels combined-Hope that helps.
overpowered definitely. when you bridge subs your almost doubling the power. if the subs were set for 2000 then the guy he took them too should have known better or at least turned the power down on the amp.
