My question is: is it worth hooking the R's up to the MRP-M500 to break them in, or would they be way underpowered and possibly get damaged, and if I did hook them up how would I wire that? |

If I ran them at 4ohms the amp would only be pushing 150 to each which is 50 under the 200 min Alpine states for the Type R's if I ran them at 1ohm it would give 250 to each during the couple of weeks it takes me to get the PDX. |
