thanks

The Type-R and Type-S enclosures are some of the worst built enclosures I've ever seen in my life. I borrowed a Type-S enclosure from my buddy because I didn't feel like building an enclosure for my Type-S right away. The first day I got the enclosure, I blew out the corner with 300 RMS ... And I thought it would just be a simple fix (clamp it, reseal it with silicone), nope, the corner actually cracked [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Anyways, the Type-Rs LOVE power

I'd recommend 400+ per sub for the 10s and 12s and 750+ per sub for the 15s ... I wouldn't run 1000 watts per 10/12, though ... I called Alpine a while back (back in the 1X40 days) and they told me 1000 watts is the thermal power handling of the motor ...
