The Jaycar are more than capable of running the type R's efficiently. They're rated at 100wrms but they actually produce around 120wrms.
would of thought a well known brand like alpine would beat jaycar?

i havent had anythig to do with jaycar amps in the past so i wouldnt know if there any good or not.... but i've always found that its easier and safer to stick with the well known brands

Alpine is one of those companies where they think they can charge more because of the brand.

The sound will still be better going from horrible standard speakers to splits either way but an amp will sound better again.

Very true.

+1 on the jaycar amps. I have two and have never looked back.
