yes it can be done

using passive crossovers, or tri-mode

what impedance is the sub?

if you already have the sub and amp, then instead of the Pro audio, get a component set.

run the components in parallel off one channel of the amp run the sub off the other. should sound a bit better because the passives should help ease a little of the crossover control issues you would have.

The Type R would only be getting approx 300 rms if its dual 4, but it would still get pretty loud.

a partner suggested i get another amp also.he said i can use the t600-2 for bass by bridging it to 2 ohms.is this the best option for the bass?alpine is dual 4ohms
good components cost more than the pro audio speakers though, firewall.good idea though.

that amp will bridge to 600 x1 @ 4 ohms not 2

as for components, viewtopic.php?f=8&t=314068

DE Audio has some decent used ones.

decent prices on the JBL as well viewtopic.php?f=8&t=317831&p=4592184&hilit=JBL#p4592184

thanks man.(1) it should not burn @2ohm bridged.cause i saw the same specs on RF site that firewall is indicating to me.(2)would the sub get sufficient power if it runs in series to 8ohm and bridge to 600rms @4ohm? thANKS FOR ANY MORE INFO ON THIS TOPIC

you would get averagely 300rms bridged if u run the amp at 8ohm which is only half the rated power of the sub.

my advice to you would be to try running the amp at 2ohm for the sub but make sure you monitor the temperature. if the thermal protection comes on in the amp then you would definately know that the ohmage is too low. you can also use a fan to control the heat.
this amp requires a 150amp external fuse so i'm positive it packs a punch at 2ohm

the birthsheet for mine says it does 834 wrms bridged @ 4ohm
