Type R - 600 rms?

[mikeyboc 10+ year member]

I currently have two Alpine MRD-M605's, each one puts out 600 rms at 2 ohm. I wanted each one to push a Type R 12? I know the subs are rated at 500 rms, is it going to create a problem for the subs to give them 600 rms?

Next, I don't have the time right now to build a custom enclosure. Should I go with the ported/vented, or sealed (sql)

OG with ported, and your amp prolly does not put ou trated power and i kjnow u wount hav e a prob with 600wrms if yo amp DID put it out.

if you are not gonna build a custom enclosure, go with sealed. i dont trust prefabbed ported.

Alpine amps do rated power...

The birthsheet that came with them puts them at 614 and 623 rma @ 2 ohm

600w wont hurt the type r's

O thats news to me, maybe ill ahve to look at getting some.

If you get the right tuneing and the right demensions, u can get the ported otherwise go with sealed.

you could also have someone build you an enclosure to the specs of your sub. I know that TCAB does a lot of boxes for type-r's. PM Spkrman or Moe Lester

You have an idea of $$$$ for the build?

Anyways.. If you want true SQL then ported would be your best bet. Tune low, maybe 28Hz. And as for the ~100w over, there are people running more than 1200w to their R's daily, and they take it without a problem.. You will be fine.

Sweet, I am doing the HU this weekend, amps and subs next week. Thanks for the help, please let anyone you know that builds enclosures to PM me when you come across them.

Thanks.

You must PM them... Moe Lester is highly reccomended.

I run 400 watts rms @ 4 ohm to each voice coil on my type r every day with no problem. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
