I have a kenwood amp 1100 watts,300 rms at 4ohms or 550 rms 2ohms.
right now i have it running a jl audio 10" sub at 4ohms single voice coil.
My question is can i use a alpine 10" type r duel voice coil at 2ohms , and have it wired to my amp at 2ohms for 550 rms. or can i not cause its duel voice coil and not have a problem? any im put would be awesome thanks.

yes, get a dual 4 ohm and hook it in parallel, to get a 2 ohm load to your amp.

even though the amp can physically put out 550w RMS at 2ohms, you can adjust that with the gains to lower the power output to a reasonable level that you're shooting for. So as for getting all 550 into a 300w Type R, i wouldn't worry about it

Is that a monoblock, two or four channel amp?

Be careful how you choose to wire those coils...you don't want to connect two ohms across a two-channel Kenwood amp in the "bridged" configuration. In that case, you would instead want to wire the sub according to the four ohm example in the sub's instructions, and connect it in the "bridged" configuration...alternatively, connect each 2-ohm coil to it's own channel, non-bridged.

If it's a monoblock, there's no real way to connect the two coils to present a 2-ohm load to the amp. You could connect it to present a four-ohm load or a 1-ohm load. In this case, you'd want to buy the 4-ohm/4-ohm per the suggestion above, and wire them in parallel.

If it's a four channel, you can only really connect it 4 ohms across two bridged amp channels.
