my friend had 2 type X 10"s in his truck without about 500rms to each and they were loud as hell the first day he got em, i havent heard since he broke them in though. but ive heard that the first batch made had bad voicecoils but they ahave put new and better voicecoils in them now and are supposed to sound even better.

blah blah blah blah

Your going to have to look into a different amp set up with those subs. The mrd-m1001 isn't capable of putting out the full 1000wrms because the 2 subs can only be wired to 1 ohm or 4 ohm. The 1001 dosn't go down to 1 ohm, so you would be running the amp at 4 ohm resulting in 250wrms per sub. You could look at 2 mrd-m501 's , or a JBL BPX1100.1 or the BPX2200.1 but its a very powerful amp.

Definately try to get 500-1000 rms to each sub. I would reccomend 750rms to be the best.
