I have a friend who is going to buy 2 x Type R subs but doesn't know which ones to buy from the 1221D or the 1241D. Which 1's would be good for R'n'B & hip hop music, he is prob going to have them in a sealed box. He has bought an Alpine MRD M300 at the moment.

he should get the Type R 1221D...that owuld be a single 2 ohm voice coil, allowing him to run each sub its own channel on the alpine amp at 2 ohms for maximum performance from the amp..

Do you know if the 12" type "R" will handle more than the 300 RMS they state (they say they'll handle 1000 Peak...seems like a big gap to me)

peak is only a momentary thing, a sub shouldn't be run at over its rated RMS, its more of a thermal thing, the voice coils may not be able to handle more then Xwatts of power for more then breif moments in time...to make a long story short, i wouldn't run more then 350 to the sub, and if you do, set your gains a touch low...

max, if u got two type r's and ran them off the alpine mrd-m300. you would get about 125rms to each sub even at 2 ohms at the amp. i know this cus i have a alpine mrd-m301. that 350wrms is for 14.4v not many cars even come close to that.

The 1221Ds are DVC Jeff... You must wire the coils in series then parallel back to the amp to sustain a 2 ohm load. The MRDs are overrated and supply over the stated output; go with the MRD-M501 GREAT amp.

www.ikesound.com seems like a rip site... Never talked to someone who has ordered from them before though... www.woofersetc.com has soom good deals and I know some peeps that have ordered from them before. GOOD LUCK!

Oh okay. Its just that site didnt seem to be that professionaly built... That would be cool if they are 100% legit.

i guess as long as it worked for me lol...but i cant say they are a bad place to go cause seriously they had my order taken and delivered all in 6 days..thats from california to NY...usually takes 7 days...but not like 1 day makes a difference..i just couldnt afford a well known "legit" site so i took my chances and it worked and if you order through there hopefully your as lucky.
