whats the most amount of amplifier power you would give a type r rated at 500 rms. I need to know if i can give it a little more than 500 watts because i heard they can take alot of power.

Use common sense when playing your sub.

15" can take 1k easy

12" 700-800

depending on how often you want to replace your type arghs

They dont like 1000+ on full tilt for long

Real watts that is, not a 1000watt amp

my amp is rated at 2000@2 ohms

i never had a problem with the r12

Well, if you want me to be honest your question sucks. How much power the sub will handle is very install dependent. This is why in all of these "how much will my sub handle?" threads I tell every one to turn the volume down when the coil starts to smell. Real life > what people are going to say on this forum.

so for someone like me who likes to play it loud *** hell for 75% of the time, how would 1k RMS do?

You will be plenty loud with 1000 rms total (500 each)..if you stay at its recommended rms, those babies will last forever. I had my two type r's 12" dual 4 ohm wired to 1 ohm by my cadence txa-1000d which is a tad underrated. It was pushing out around 1200rms and they sounded great off of it.

Higher power doesn't always equal higher output. Some subs can get retarded loud off of low power Choose a sub that is closer to the rms of the amp. A true 1000w is a lot of power for a single 12" R to handle for a long period of time. For a burp it's no problem
