would this amp destroy two alpine type r's? i was told that it would

I would say its possible. I have 2 2voicecoil 2ohm type r's myself with this amp and so far no blown up subs but im careful with them. They do shake the buhjeezus out of my car and my insides when i crank it up let me tell ya haha :)

its very possible ... I have two alpine type r's and I have the amp turn on only about a quarter of its power.. so its very possible to blow two type r , if the amp was even turned up halfway.. very powerful amp

I'm no audio expert but should not be a problem. Even if this amp really outputs a 1/3 of it's rated power. The one we received works and sounds nice paired with 4 seismic audio artic 15 speakers 400 watts rms.

This Amp will put out 480 watts RMS power on a 4 Ohm cabinet load. It is possible that the amplifier could blow the speakers that were used but there are MANY more factors that could cause this to happen. Thanks Kam.

The alpine 12 is alright. It's a great speaker but it's rms handling isn't very high. I bought two of these. Dual 4 ohm . They hit hard but not hard enough. Remember, you get what you pay for. I have one orion hcca 12 that blows both of these out.

RH is wrong. NEVER put ANYTHING on top of an amp. The heat will cook the internal components.

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

Ummm honestly it probably would be a but over kill! Cause this powers my 2 12's that are higher rms with no issues! How much is the prime 500 watt amp

According to alpine, if the amp has a bass knob input jack, then this knob will work. Looking at the amp, I can tell you that it WILL NOT work. There is no input for the knob to interface with this amp.

If you bridge the amp down to 2ohm is will push 800 rms n 1200 rms at 1ohm I have it pushing one type r ...

Literally any mono amp will do. If it's going to be paired up with this, then the cheaper, the better. I had mine hooked up to a really nice Alpine, it didn't help any.

yes- "but" I would not recommend--very possible it would no.1 - it will burn out the amp! no.2 - void your warranty !

I would consider this amp underpowered for your task. Look at its rms power and you should understand why.

In a simple answer, no it won't. Mine was less power than needed for two budget coax 6 inch door speakers. To get any thump look for the higher powered name brands, in either single channel, or dual channels you can bridge. 2ohms will take a good bit of power to get decent bass. I bought this same rated amp 20 years ago, and it made two 6x9's sound good, and loud. No way I would buy this one again, and I wish I had never bought it. Come to find out it has the same power as the 15-20 year old alpine in my dash, so there was almost NO change in loudness.

According to the stats, your alpine has a built in amp of 18w RMS / 50w peak per speaker. My head unit: Aiwa CDC-X227 has 22 w RMS/45 peak. I am running these in the back and 6'' round Polk db's in the front strait off my head unit and have had no distortion up to uncomfortable listening levels. These are 4'' round speakers so as long as you are not expecting these to "thump" *, you should have no problem running these without an additional amp. (*note: I'm not saying they don't have good bass, but they are not very big either)

It will work but your not getting the most potential from the speaker. Speakers in a ported box also handle less power. The Alpine Type-R is the same speaker but cheaper. PMA-800DF Alphasonic is a pretty good amp to check out also, it's 1ohm stable. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have it running to Alpine type r 12in. The subs are wired down to 1 ohm.

Yes it is, you can get an Alpine amp that runs 500rms @ 2, but you can get cheaper brands for around 100 for what you are looking for.
