They are beasts with a very low price tag. I love em. Not many subs that can handle 1,000 rms for only $130 shipped.

I only have one video of my type-r's and it was filmed with my shitty camera before the subs were fully broken in. Here it is. My car gets loud

I have 2 10" type R's in a custom made ported box and let me tell you, they slam. I'm looking for a better amp right now so i can push them more. For the $$ some of the best.

Yeah they are really good budget subs.. people just bash on em cause they are mainstream and they were the big hype a while ago. You can get DC level 3 12's for the same price range almost i believe but besides that Type R's are really great for their price.

They're cheap, loud and don't sound good doing it. Learn to search there's probably 100's of these threads.

i just creeped on all your pictures

They have no special cooling. The former isn't drilled for that. They have a 2" voice coil. If you think you're giving them a lot more than 500 watts for any amount of time you're mistaken. Clamp it and find out how much you're really giving them. They sound terrible but they can, just like any other sub... get loud. They are nothing special EXCEPT for their suspension. They have 2 spiders spaced around 1/2 apart to give better linearity through the stroke.

well said

I ran 1700w-1800w to two type-r's. They can definitely take more than 500w rms. Obviously you never owned one. I'm not saying theyre gonna hold up to a test tone for an hour but for daily its perfectly fine.

I actually have one. Obviously you never clamped the power.

TommyK has put well over 500rms on a 10" Type R and has the scores to prove it. From my understanding with all his testing with R's he has only blown one and that was on 2kRMS from a Kicker 2500.1 for a 30 second run. Snapped in the last couple of seconds.

Impedance rise is negligible on music, whats the point of clamping? Ran a 50hz test tone for a few minutes with voltage at 42 on 1 ohm load. What more do you want?

they are good subs till about 700 each of real power

Most subs can take a lot of power over rated for short durations. Since the type r has a smaller coil and no special cooling I guess it has magic? I mean you all say it can take all this power but I don't think any of you have ever actually clamped the power. Like most people on this forum, you just think you know what you're talking about.

1 ohm load rising to what? Impedence rise isn't negligible as far as power output goes. It's stupid to try to estimate what power as the impedence changes with frequency. You got confused on why. I am positive you did not run 1700+ watts to a single type r for a few minutes. I ran one on 500 clean watts for a few seconds and it blew.
