[QUOTE="Roasted, post: 1091515, member: 549965"] With all do respect, the Type R's are rated 500 watts RMS. Despite the fact that most everyone here, including myself, may agree that more power may make a Type R happier, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIIIIIIIGHLY doubt those folks at Alpine underrated the woofer to such a low point that actually feeding it its suggested RMS power would be "too low." I have a pair of Type R's, and I plan to feed 500 RMS to each. I'm sure they will sound great, because I've heard them. Then again, I'm compenstating by building the box quite a bit bigger. But the point still lies, saying 650 RMS to a woofer "rated" 500 RMS (but proven to handle more) won't satisfy that woofer is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
