[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 55268, member: 541271"] My brother took them back because he wanted his $400 back. I'm just telling what happened that is what a review is all about. I don't know how to explain it, but the Type R's were drawing more power from the amp or the amp was putting more of a damper on the charging system. Your friend must not be setting gains properly because we had 1500 Rms to 2 subs, that would be 750 a piece. He played them for almost a week with no problems. Regardless, after thouroughly listening to the Type R's, I think they surpassed the Audiobahn alums in SPL. However way you want to portray it, the amp was doing something different with the type R's, it was definitely working harder, both were 1-ohm loads, and you could see a noticeable difference when the type r's were setup.
