hey moto your TypeR is a dual voice coil each is 2ohms. if you have them wired + to + and - to - that is parallel. which gives you a 1 ohm load. check the owners manual for the amp and make sure that it is 1 ohm stable. If it isn't (although being an MA it should be) you will end up killing it. I am sure you will be ok though. I own a set of the TypeE's and they rock hard :headbang: and those R's rock harder :icon_hornsup:

As far as the amp setting goes Ideally you want it set to the 0-50 Hz range. all this is, is where the amp cuts the "bass" frequencies at,keeps the higher range stuff from being sent to the subs making then sound "muddy" (or muffled) hope this helps you out. If you have any further ?'s PM me thru here or email at JRAntoine@roadrunner.com

i would bet the 50-200hz is the low pass filter. youre probably using the settings on your headunit for that though. the 0-50hz sounds like you have a subsonic filter. it pretty much cuts the frequency right at the amp. that way your amp doesnt have to work as hard playing frequencies your setup isnt set up for. as far as wiring your sub, let us know what your amp is stable at.
