i just installed my alpine type-rs 12's . ported box and MRD605 in a explorer. they hit but im not that happy with them .. people say break them in and im not sure if that will make them that much better.. so im thinking about getting the Mrd-1005 a custom box and a HU ( im running stock) oh yea its like my stock radio gets hot and starts skippin on every cd.. help plz
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.
yea i also notice when i have my volume at half the subs hit pretty good but when the volume is full the music gets louder and not the subs. so a new HU will fix that you say.. well i guess ill get alpine keep the same brand.
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.:-)
alwite m8. i got 12inch vrx car sub, 700 watt the blue one, with the box fully fitted. i bought the ac to dc convertor box and also the amplifier,the punch 500watt 2 channel amp, and the wiring kit. so i connected everyting up to the pc it pumps loud but does not produce quality sound even when the pc sourround sound speakers are off. so why is dat???
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.

i have a 500watt amplifier called the punch model:pa-211. it has a feature called high in. which i dont no what it is used for so can anyone help?
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.
