will 200W RMS be enough to properlly power 1 Type S 12?

it's in one of those big Alpine boxes, and i havent heard it yet but i'm considering buying it off somone and the guy has a 200W RMS amp pushing it, good enough?

it's just in a EG HB

 

200wrms is fine in a hatchback. What type of box is it? sealed ported or bandpass?

 

it's one of those big Actuall Alpine brand ones they used to sell, i belive it's ported

 

Type S 12" subs are 300W continuous, [RMS] subs, and although a 200W RMS amp will work, it is "under-powering" the sub.

What Type S sub is it, a DVC 4 OHM or the DVC 2 OHM?

What is the make and model of the amp? 94

 

the amp is a v-power mrp m200 (monoblock)

and i'm gonna asume the Sub is a SVC, older model type S probably

 

it'll work, won't pound hella crazy, but it'll work

I can not find a SVC Type S sub at Alpine support, even in archived subs. 94

oh really? hmm well i'm meeting up with him tommarow so i should find out, if i got the 4 ohm 150W the 200RMS amp should be decent for it though right?

 

If it is a SVC 4 ohm 150W sub, then yes the amp, [Alpine MRP-M200] is just fine, [150W rms into 4 ohms] 94

 

your help is much appreciated

will update tom when i pick it up
