My friend had it in a closed box and it was plenty loud. He had two of them though :/ He was also running a hifonics amp. It was a 1606D I THINK, but he recently got a new one Alpine amp because he sold his two Type-R's for a 12" type-x

I gotta agree... if you really want to get the most outta that Type R then go ported... not to say that it can't be made loud in a sealed, just which ever way you go, you put it in a properly built and tuned enclosure, cause a Type R or no matter how nice a sub can sound like junk in the wrong box.

Type R's come in dual 4ohm and dual 2ohm, that in itself will determine what amp you should get.. i have a Type R on a JBL 600.1.. just look at my Photobucket, and go to Saturn, or my SoundDomain.. Type R's really shine in ported boxes..

I finally talked a guy at work into upgrading his system. Thankfully I managed to steer him away from Audiobahn. What I did recomend on a tight budget was an Alpine Type-R and a Hifonics amp. I thought this was the best bang for the buck. Am I right?
He will be putting the sub in a sealed box. How good will a 12" R sound in that box and will it still get plenty loud?
I narrowed the amp choice down to :
Mono amps
TXI5006, 500w at 1 ohm
TXI7506, 500w at 2 ohms and 750w at 1 ohm
BXI606, 600w at 1 ohm
How would a 2 channel work out?
Like mabey a TXi6006, 1 x 600 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohm Bridged Mono. It would save some money but would it be worth it?
I also told him that AAs would be a good option for subs but it seams that they are still out of stock. Does anyone have an idea when they will be selling again?
