Alpine Type R handle 1,200rms?

[Raisedin305 5,000+ posts]

My friend has an Audiobahn a1300hct amplifier that does 1,200rms @ 1ohm. He now has two shitty audiobahn subs that ****. He wants new subs and told me to look for him for something good. I was thinking about going with two 12" Type Rs (dvc4) and run them @ 1ohm. What do you guys think? Will it get loud? Ive never actually heard anything from Alpine but all the hype here about them must be good subs so I decided to give them a try. This will go in a trunk of a Mazda 6.

I haven't bought it yet though. Im looking up subwoofers that he will most likely be more than happy with. Im thinking either two 15" Kicker CVRs in a sealed enclosure or two 12" Alpine Type Rs in a ported enclosure but im not sure if the ported box will fit in the trunk

Nevermind just found out that the ported box specs for a type r are Ported box volume: 0.75-1.75 so it should fit in the trunk

What does that mean though? any sub will work in just about any box I guess you could say. That ranges is nuts. I mean that more than double in size and that biggest size is 1.7 cubes gross. Way too small imo.

can 2 500watt subs handle 1200watts. the answer is yes.

Yes they will handle it fine. I have 1100watts going to mine in a sealed enclousere and does 144.3 on the tl. So I am sure if you do ported you could do better than that. I just like sealed better.
