[QUOTE="brandontw, post: 1142797, member: 553125"] I am buying a type X but I have been told several times so far that if I want to get its full potential, to give it 1000 RMS, so I will give it its full 1000RMS. But if you are only going to have 200 watts to give, there is no use doubling your cost for your sub and buying a sub with 5 times more power handling than the power you have to give it.(type x) The type R is a very solid woofer, and I’m sure you would be pleased with it. But if you only are going to give it 200RMS you still will be under powering it, as it is a 500w rms subwoofer. My friend has a Type R on a profile amp, I think he is giving it 400rms and it sounds very nice, we have it in a small sealed enclosure. I know you like the amp you have listed there, but if I may make a suggestion, you should consider this amp: [URL="http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2657"]http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2657[/URL] and pair it with this sub: [URL="http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/3502"]http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/3502[/URL] if you went with this option, you would have 75 watts x4 for your speakers at 4 ohm, then you would have 600 watts x1@1ohm for your subwoofer, the type R would be happy with 600RMS, even though it says only 500rms, this will help you avoid clipping from the amp as well.
