Just scored the 2011 model Type R's, SWR-1023D 2 ohm 10" - 2 of them with a 2 year extended warranty for $242.00 shipped. Not bad at all. Should be perfect for the MRP-M1000 , 500 rms of clean power to each sub.


So what is the best way I should run these subs? I am more about sound quality than volume, but I do want it to get obnoxious from time to time lol That's why I got the 10" Type R's and chose a sealed box. What should my settings be for maximum sound quality and to hit all ranges of bass, especially the highs? My deck has a high/low pass filter. How should I have everything set on the amp and deck? I will have type r speakers amped as well, I really want to enjoy a full sound with really powerful mid/high tones as well as the low from the subs.

Just a reminder that two 2-ohm DVC subwoofers can only be run in either a .5, 2, or 8 ohm configuration.

Well yeah, I got the 2 ohm subs to work with the 2 ohm power rating on my amp, so I should be getting 500 rms to each sub @ 2 ohms right?

Bump.. how do I tune these subs and my speakers as far as the frequencies and everything goes? I want to make sure I do it right.

I’d like to know some more brands please
