Would this hurt the Type R?

[Camaro_man 10+ year member]

It's rated for 500wrms, what if I gave it 600? Would it cause any long term damage?

Also how would that sound in a 1.5 cube box, sealed. (2 of them at 600wrms a piece)

from what ive heard they should be ported and alot of guys in here run that sub from 1000-2000 rms daily, in the right enclosure of course, so , no you wont have any problems

600? C'mon man, you don't see enough people talking about pushing type Rs with 1000rms yet? Check "the official Type R thread" you'll learn soo much about these subs, it ain't even funny.

Just because people are hooking up 1000-2000watts amps to them doesnt mean they are giving them anywhere near that much power. I HIGHLY doubt anyone is sending more than 800 or so to one daily.

It's always good to have about 20% more power than your speakers need. I've found out that my 1042d R's are very under rated as I'm giving them AT LEAST 600wrms. After a month of Bass Mechanik and 3 6 Mafia they still sound great. I've also come to realize that they need a minimum of 500wrms before they start to sound good(to me!). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i feed mine 800 rms .. but im more then sure it can take 1000 ..

I have heard of people runnin 1000rms daily, so yes they can take it. Assuming its a 12.

1000 REAL watts, aka gained set with dmm and proper voltage is given, etc. still won't be 1000 watts... considering impedance rise.... so if you set your gain by ear and clip a 1000 watt amp to an R 12, it may blow. just be smart

Pushing a Type R at 480W RMS, 600W peak, at 2 ohm, wouldn't be enough then, if one uses a sealed box ?
