Alpine Type R

Will my 10" Type R handle this amp well? Output Power at 12.5V:

2 x 150W @ 4 ohms (0.05% THD+N)

2 x 300W @ 2 ohms (0.1% THD+N)

1 x 600W @ 4 ohms bridged (0.1% THD+N)

Dynamic: 1 x 750W @ 4 ohms (14.4V)

Its an MTX Thunder 2300x.

I know this is of topic to the op's thread but I used to have that same amp and it's really not that great. For about the same price you can get this one:

If it's just 1 15" it should work. Still slightly underpowered though. That crunch amp is rated completely in peak power; actual output is more like 500@4Ohm when bridged. After 2 years it died on me and is now lying on the floor in pieces next to my pc. It also used to overheat quite often.

To the op though, bridge the amp & run it at 4 & you should be fine.

Also, its going to be sealed.

I had 637 watts 2ohms from a mrd-m605 going to this sub in a sealed .7 sealed box and the gain set at 2.5,the lp set 72hz and i heard some sub cancelation when a low bass note hit, It could of been my box size or the amp was not tune right,I,am not an expert on this stuff, but I figure a true 400-500 watts amp would be fine for this sub in a sealed box. If you go ported 500- 600 watts should sound great.

ya its going in a .7 sealed box. I might just end up building a ported box. Anyoe have any reccomendations for the size?

heck, just try that sealed box and see what it sounds like if you got time, I always hear sealed is better for sq. In my work truck setup I replaced that type r for a 10" kicker cvx 600 rms sub and a slightly bigger sealed box that I had and some poly-fill and it seemed to handle that mrp-m605 better. I have been through alot of different subs over the years and one thing I have learned is box design is key in getting most out of any sub.

that type R calls for 0.6-1.3 cf ported. In my other vehicle I have a type x 12 in a slot ported box to specs and it pounds and sounds great to all types of music.
