What Did I Do Wrong??
I have a 1500 watt alpine type r subwoofer a 1000 watt alpine mrp-1000 amplifier. Yesterday after the car wash I had no bass took it over to a friend and my amp was dead. I went to abt got a replacement amp. Everything worked fine(theyre was a odd burning smell). Now it doesent work anymore!! What did I do wrong, am I having bad luck with the amp? please help!!

check the ohm load on the speaker. it may be too low for the amp... either that or you need a bigger amp for what you're trying to do. turn down the gain if you want the amp to last...

check wiring, check for liquid going to wherever your amp is located, read the print on your woofer and amp box...Type-R's are not 1500watts even in it's own dreams.

what deck do you have? try to keep the signal input into the amp as high as possible. this will allow you to turn down the gain on the amp. when the gain is really high up it is easier to cause distortion.
that amp should work fine with a type-r. you dont have bad luck. you just need someone to tune it correctly for you. turning all the ***** on the amp all the way doesnt make it "sound best". lol. i heard that excuse before.

Your "holes in the box" method probably tuned the box way too high. When you play material below the enclosure's tuning frequency, the driver unloads. You can easily push it past its mechanical limits with very little power.
