Yes. Sealed and in the right size box a pair of type-r's can take 1500 watts. I used an alpine 1500 watt amp on a pair of them sealed in an s-10 and they were rediculously loud.. but then again i had a pair of M5's sealed on 750 watts and they were just barely "quieter" than the type-R's .. on 1/2 the wattage and a smaller sealed box also they were in my wrangler..One question...R these 2 alpine type r's going to be able to handle 1500 watts....?
