i played my pr 12s dual 4s at 1 ohm on a memphis 1000d, which does more than 1200rms I would say...
and they wanged hard! people thought they were 15s.... thats untill I clipped the hell out of the amp, with NO HO alt... :-(
I know for a fact, the pr1000d memphis is stronger than that mtx amp bs.... so yeah... it can take that amp! just make sure there is no clipping/...

Are you talking about the PR1000 or the MCD1000.

And what MTX amp are you talking about.

basically, ur car cant provide the power that the amp needs, so it causes the subs to kinda cut out cause the amp cant power them sufficiently cause ur car cant power the amp. this happens at higher volumes normally, and on the notes or whatever that take the most power

this is hard on everything, car, amp subs etc. its kinda "known" that you shouldnt go over 1000watts rms without an upgraded electrical system....but it differs from car to car

The PR 12" are 250 watts RMS each the MCD500 is perfect for those sub not the MCD1000 to much power.

My brother roasted 2 PR 15" on a MCD1000 in two weeks. The PR series are there entry level subs. But he didn't know that at the time so he put them on the MCD1000 and roasted them.
