2 Type R's + MRP-M2000

[tailz]

I was thinking of buying two Type R subwoofers and a MRP-M2000. The subs are rated at 500wrms but I have heard can take 1000w if the signal isn't distorted. Would it be clear or distorted at full volume at about 33Hz?

If I were to run Two Type R's at 33Hz each, power them with a 2000w Alpine Amp (MRP-M2000) with a clean signal coming via a capacitor, would this system work for long periods without putting too much strain on the subwoofers/amplifier? Thx in advance.

Aye Dont think they can really handle 1k rms each. A main stream brand being able to handle double what its rated...it just isnt going to happen. They CAN however handle 600-700 rms each after broken in real good. Just get a AP15001d or something else that uses 1500 watts. Dw about getting a cap...do the big 3 using atleast 2 gauge...if your still getting dimming then just get a 2nd battery with an isolator.

I personally got 2 12" Type Rs wired @ 1 ohm with a AP15001d...and id guess they are seeing maybe 650-700 each due to box rise.

For short periods they can take a ton of power, but if you want them to last and you plan to play it hard then probably around 750w would be safe long term.

Bad guess. to only lose 200 watts of output you'd have to only rise like 2 tenths of an ohm. Even some of the best SPL enclosures don't rise that little. You most likely rise a few ohms. If you rise even 1 ohm you're cutting your output in half. I realize you think type r's are amazing, but you need to learn what you're talking about before you tell people they can handle more than rated.

I disagree. That is 150% of rated. They simply do not have any special cooling to allow their 2" coil to rid itself of all of that excess heat. I think everyone should just plan on sticking to rated with type r's instead of hoping impedence rise saves their ***.

My friend puts 1000 watts to each of his 4 15's. If you know what you are doing and keep a clean unclipped signal it can be done. They have an RMS of 500 and peak of 1500.

What impedence is he wired at? What does his impedence rise to? Until you can answer these two questions, you cannot actually say he's applying this much power to them. He's probably not or they would be blown. They don't have some magical heat dissipation device built into them. They have 2" voice coils and no extra cooling.

There is also something called a gain knob where you dont send all power to teh subs.
