CEA or not doesn't really matter man. They are solid subs though and will take every last bit of power that brx2400 will throw at it.

x2. OP, CEA compliance means virtually nothing, it's basically a sticker companies throw on their products to attract less knowledgeable customers by attempting to say 'look at us, our product is proven!'.

You should be able to throw a good amount of power at your Type Rs - if you keep it clean, they should take it fine and will provide decent output and retain musicality in the right enclosure.

CEA compliance confuses me for subs, anyway - I understand it means an amp can make power for compliance, but what does it mean for a sub? That it can take that power?

Yup - if you set your gains correctly, you should have nothing to worry about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
