2 Type R subs able to be run by a JL 500/1?

[Gorox 10+ year member]

Is a JL Audio 500/1 enough to run 2 Type R subs? I'm only looking to buy a JL amp or an Alpine amp. So, secondly if I were to only want to have 1 amp to run both, Alpine wise which amp would I need? Thank you!

you might want to give some more wattage to those...some people feed 1 type r with 1000 or so watts

alpine makes a 1000rms d class..

and no i don tthink the 500/1 is enough

go for the 1000/1

If you go alpine, put an alpine mrd-1005 on each or the pdx-1.1000

Just curious as to why only JL or Alpine?

No real reason other than I'd rather not get another brand involved. Alpine head unit, Alpine type R 6.5 speakers/tweeters up front being run by a JL2100 amp, with JL 6x9s in the back. Sounds stupid I know, lol.

I got an mrv-1507 that puts out 900w (underrated) bridged at 4 ohms for sale.

i had a nine1 hooked up to 2 15 compvr until i fried it so i hooked up my old jl 500/1.no it cant push the subs to full potential but it does just fine. but i would get the saz1500d its only 600 compaired to the jl is 550 after tax at retail stores such as tweeter and the saz is a lot better.

i think the jl 500/1 is alot of price tag and being run to your type r's you won't get as much out of them as you want. for alot cheaper you can power then much better
