I have 3-10"type r's (dual 3ohm) and I'm going to run them off of 2 MRP-M450's. So my question is should I run them @ .75 to each amp, one amp running each set of coils, or get a third amp, or chang the wiring to a more amp friendly load. I know it sounds like alot of load but I have seen these amps run @ .25 without much trouble. Its just my dd but I do like to go loud. I reaaly only have room for three amps, and I wanted one (MRP-F450) for the components.

Also are the newer dual 4 ohm type r's better then the originals. They're brand new either way.

you could wire the 3 subs to 2 ohms. if the amp isnt stable at 1 ohm i really dont think it will handle it at 0.75 ohms.

Wire each sub voice-coils in series, then wire all 3 subs in parallel to get 2 ohms.
(my math should be correct lol)

To the best of my knowledge, there were never 3 ohm coils on Alpine Type R subs.

Dual 2 or dual 4.

I'm not sure how to get 2 ohm from 3-3 ohms, but I'll work the numbers later. Also according to the paper work in the boxes they are dual 3's

series the 2 coils to 6 ohms and then parallel the 3 subs to 2 ohms

Dual 3 ohm type r's, or any Alpine for that matter does not ring any bells at all...are you sure they're legit Alpine type R's? Also, I'm not aware of any MRP series amps that are stable to below 2ohms. Something does not sound right.

Last time I ran a mrp-m350 at 1 ohm you could smell things trying to let out the magic smoke, and it was hot enough to boil an egg on the heatsink.

Any lower than 1 ohm and I bet it'll just go straight into protect.

And again, to the best of my knowledge, Alpine never made a 3 ohm coil on the Type R, thats a JL thing.

i'll check it out again on tuesday, thats when i'm back in the shop. and i thought 1 ohm was too low also but i've seen it run lower.

I've seen 3 alpines in a box before.
the 3 subs are DVC 2, with each sub paralelled to 1 ohm and all 3 subs series-ed foir a TOTAL load of 3 ohms, like the paperwork says.

Run that on a MRD 1005 and they'll each get 250 wrms.
