I've heard people say they've put 2k to a single R, but the most power I've ever seen in person was 1200.

i wouldn't trust over 1300 or so for daily.. But that's just me.. i ran a 12" at 1000 for a quick sec daily but i don't think it liked it..

1001watts rms if you run 1002 it explodes and catches fire

oh and I ran 1250 to a 10" R before rise and all that good stuff

You take the number of ripples on the surround, add the number of ripples on the spider(s), multiply it by the diameter of it, and multiply that total by the number of spokes on the basket.

Seriously, test it out for yourself and see.

well im trying to figure out what amp to get for 2 15"s

this is the one im looking into.

ZRS-7500D - Cadence 3600 Watt 1 Ch Competition Amplifier

think this would push them enough. at 1 ohm...

I've ran 1200 through the first edition Type Rs. I'd hope the 15" handles a bit more than that. I believe they have bigger coils than the 10s and 12s.

i love cadence as everyone knows but i can find u a solid audio f2500d for 350 shipped with a free eq 2500rms at 1 ohm always good to have extra power.

the new ia and zrs-c series cadence are much better amps, same build house as audioque.

wow. 2500 rms at 1 ohm? that wouldnt be too much for 2 15" type r's??? 1250 rms ea...

Exile Audio 2400.1 AMP 325 OBO Cheap! - Car Audio Classifieds

another much better amp, these are beasts from origional phoenix gold engineers.

may sound stupid. but i kinda want to stick with either hifonics or cadence.

also. im not going to be able to buy anything thats on like a bidding site and such. i dont have the money at the moment. although i do have the subs. im looking for the perfect amp.
