Is it enough power to run an alpine type r 12?

or 2 12" type s'

 

barely. just remember to not crank the gains to compensate for low power.

 

what would be a good solid amp to power the alpine type r or two alpine type s'
giving them enough power

 

zx750.1 would work with either one type R 12 or two Type S

 

A person from crutchfield tol me that the alpine mrp-m450 would be great to run a type r so i think thats what im going to with

 

pdx 1.1000

 

well now thats 450rms to a 500 rms sub.

does 50 watts make a big difference? probably not. but that type r can handle way more than that.

I would take the single R over 2 type s 12's.

I would go with what hillbilly recommended and try to find a zx 750.1. Probably cheaper and more power.

 

yes, under-powering a speaker is usually just as bad as over-powering it. People will turn the gain and bass boost up more to get it louder, leading to speaker failure.

 

I thought over powering a sub is fine as long as distortion is left outta the picture.

distortion kills subs, not too little, or too much power.

 

my zx750.1 was $180 USD shipped. idk about that alpine
