A new after-market HU could make all the difference...it will send your amp a cleaner signal.

You said you have 2 Type-r's and one mrd605? If you do, you're seriously underpowering those subs.

No, he's not seriously underpowering them, but they could use a little more power.
Breaking them in might help the sound a little, at least I noticed a little difference.
The HU is also verry important. It will send a cleaner signal, as well as different settings for the subs/speakers making a big difference.

To quicken the responce time for you're subs... like on a fast hitting song.
The cap gives the amp a quick burst of electricity. People also use it to stop headlights dimning... but it doesn't really fix the problem, an HO alternator is the best way... hope this made sense.:-)

a capacitor is for people that waste money. look into a new high output alt and batt if you are having votage issues (ex: lights dimming).

What is the VC configuration on your Type-Rs? How are they wired?

Either way, I would consider them underpowered. Those subs are 500w RMS. At best you're getting 600w RMS from your MRD-M605, which would be 300w RMS to each sub. If you're running at 4 ohms, then I would also say that you are "seriously underpowering" your subs.

Cap's really don't help smooth rails much at all, and they don't quicken response time. The cap's voltage always follows the voltage of the battery or alternator when the car is running. If the rails fall, the cap's voltage goes with it.

Caps are good filters, that's about it.
