how much power did you run to your type R?

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

nice. ya so i think in going to run 750 to each of my 12s and see what happens. seems like a good amount.

IMO, That's perfect for them. Should HIT HARD.

i ran 1000\1 jlaudio to each of my 12" and jugeing buy the pile of blow type r i have i do not think they like that much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

750 works wonders on them

its all about the box there in and the user. i have always ran 12'' R's on 2k(rated) daily with no problems.

I beat on those suckers for a month or two with my KX2500 wire down to 1ohm. They took the power well, although you couldnt let loose full tilt on them for long periods of time or they would start getting smelly.

In the proper enclosure with an experienced user, they can handle 1000wrms daily. Anymore power than that to them isnt really doing anything for you. Other than heating up the coils a ton.

i got a 15" right now on a kx2500.1 @ 4 ohms. gains set to 1500w. its eating it up, so i turned the subwoofer contro (not bass boost //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif)l up from 0 to +6 and its still taking it like a champ for the most part. can get stinky on some songs at +6.

id say 1000 on the 12"s and 1500 on the 15's is good for most people.

we ran a 2300w rated amp to a 12" and it handled it great. of course the power wasnt truly 2300w though. it was probably in the range of 1500 or so tops. could make the 12" stink up on that power, but it took a good LONG while on some bass heavy songs.

ya i had a 4.0 cubes box built for them so the box is not some prefab or anything.

they must of got loud off the kicker amp. ya i figure 750 will be good them. i bought a hifonics 2008d so i could run 1k if i wanted to, but first i got to see how my electrical is going to handle the amp.

that's good to hear. if they start to stink ill turn it down lol.

what your box tuned to?

Idk what kind of type R's you guys are running, but everytime I pushed over 750 RMS on a 12" it would go, and for the 15" 1200 RMS +

The only way to run a 1500+ RMS on a 12" is to drop bottom on the gains, which really doesn't mean you're just looking to upgrade in the future.

Hell I could hook up a 8" rockford fosgate HE sub (150 rms) to my 1000 PDX, and if I set the gains to dead low, it won't blow, but will I really be pushing over 1K rms to it?

Hell no!

And I wouldn't go around saying it did.

ya i figure it should hold up the 750 if people are giving it 1000+, but ever situation is different i guess. and if they blow i'm only out 150 bucks.

for my 12" type r's i tried quite a few different setups and anywhere from 500-1250 watts to each.. i liked it in the 4.8 @ 34 hz with 850 watts to each the most(they were dual 2 so my orion 2500D @ 2 ohms). i didnt like it with anything over that 850 mark tho

did they last long with 850 going to each?

Used Alpine Mrd-M1005 (1000 Rms 1800Peak) and it would get smelly if I bumped it really hard. Seemed like that power was perfect for it.
Edit; On a 15 woofer.

lol true

Then the problem lies somewhere else....i.e....enclosure or clipping, it comes down to user error in the situation. Time and time again this topic is debated on this forum.

Plain and simple, if you know what your doing, the 10 or 12" Type R (newer style) will handle 1000wrms rated power thrown to it, the 15" can handle a good bit more than that, about 1500wrms.

With the pair I had hooked up recently, I had the gain set on my KX for about 2900wrms @ 2ohm, wired the R's to 1.4ohm, so rise could even extend beyond 2ohm, but Im sure they were seeing right around 1200-1500 a piece when letting loose on them, although, with them tuned down a tad, probably closer to the 1000wrms range, they handled the power much better and would not get stinky after some beating.

Take it for what its worth.

I havent had a ton of experience with the 15's, but Ive installed and played with quite a few others, 10" off a BX1206d, 12" off a BX1505d, 12" off Alpine MRD-1000, Two 12" off BX1505d, Two 12" off MTX 1501d(or similar), Two 12" off KX2500, 15" off BX1505d.

Time and time again when I install them for people I set them up the same way, and throw 1000wrms to them over and over, but I always tell them to be careful.

Most of my experience with them has been with the 12", even more so than the few examples I listed.

ya ill probably throw the 1k each at them once my electrical is good. i want to get the amp installed first and see what kinda voltage drops im going to get. dont want to run the amp to full potential with bad electrical.
