Can a Alpine Type R 15" handle 1000rms safely, or what is the limit?

Yes it can handle 1k rms, as long as that's not 1k rms + gain and bass boost maxxed out.

I've heard of them taking as much as 1500 daily per woofer...

So would a Hifonics BXi1608D wired to 1ohm from a 2ohm sub be safe if I just had the gain and bass boost pretty moderate? Thanks!

Dont use any bass boost

Would this be a good budget amplifier to get and not underpower the sub? Thanks!

I would look into a bxi1208D, you are likely to blow the sub running it on that amp with little knowladge of car audio

i blew one off 1,200 watts in a 3cb ft. box tuned to 35hz....

that's because you clipped it. it had nothing to do with the watts.

No not really, it was being powered by an Kicker kx2500.1 @ 4 ohms and gains was sett with a DMM, what it sounds un-believable that a sub rated @ 750 watts rms blew off 1,200 - 1,300 watts?

You made a mistake somewhere, I have seen one take 1800rms without blowing

Gains set with a DMM, had a great electrical 250 amp alternator with a deep cycle battery in the back, i was planning to run a dual 15 Inch Type R setup but since i blew my first one of 1200 - 1300 watts i went with a different option, i mean they were nice subs but come on 2.5 inch coil FTL, i've seen a couple dudes on here do some amazing things and numbers with them but as far as Giving them that much power "daily" i wouldnt do it, but the most i would give them would be about 1,000 watt rms daily

if you had the gains set right, it wouldn't have blown:fyi: what's so hard to figure out about that?

Gains set @ 72.11 on a good electrical so tell me how many watts is that 1,300 right? Thank you..........All I'm telling you is that from my personnel experience that I blew one of 1,300 watts, are you telling me that it is 100% impossible to blow a sub rated @ 750 watts rms with a 2.5 inch coil off a constant 1,300 watts?

what made you pick 1300? why did you do so much on a 750 rms sub? you're welcome

LOL! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif who doesn't push subs to the limit, i took a $125 sub and just gave it a little extra juice
