Will a hifonics zxi 1006 power 2 12" alpine type r's?

Question

and if the subs are 4ohm can I hook them up 2ohm?

Answer 1

no, hifonics amps are junk- very over rated, you would be lucky to get half of the advertised RMS wattage- you need to look into CEA-compliant brands (like your subs) which means that the amp can produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion

you need an amp with about 1000watts RMS @ 1 or 4ohms and is CEA-compliant (at 1ohm the sound quality is not as good as at higher impedance's (ohms) but it is easier (cheaper) to power); companies that make amps that are 1ohm stable are harder to find but i know that Fosgate make them

here are the top CEA-compliant brands

Alpine  

Bazooka  

Blaupunkt  

Clarion  

Eclipse  

Infinity  

JBL

JL Audio  

Kenwood

Kicker  (my favorite, not stable below 2ohms)

MTX  

Pioneer

Polk Audio

Rockford Fosgate  (1ohm stable amps)

Sony
