Whats the most Power I can put through 2 Alpine Type R's???

[e32lover 10+ year member]

Hello,

I have 2 12" Alpine Type R subs, the 2003 models.

To run them, i am considering either:

MTX 8100D (1500w @2ohm?)

or

Alpine MRD 1005 (1000w @ 2ohm).

or

Earthquake D2

I would like to keep my whole system alpine (yeah i know its stupid but hey), but if the type R's would benefit from having that extra power, then I will happily go for the MTX or the D2. (Which is better)???

Basically, will their be any advantage running these subs from the MTX or D2 as opposed to the Alpine?

THanks, your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

if those type R's are 2003 models.. then I wouldn't send more then 450watts to each speaker. The RMS is around 300.. and from what I remember, they don't handle much more.

If you do choose to run one of those amps.. make sure you watch your gains.

Ditto, I have the MRD-M1005 as well.

Id put 1 on each tho.

i wouldnt go over 1kwrms if you dont know exactly what youre doing.. i think after that it might start to not like the power in a hurry.. matter of fact, i perspnally wouldnt send them over like 750
