turns out my woofer was blown, i had abt's 4 year replacement plan so i go a new one for free no questions asked and bough warrenty on the new woofer as well cost me 25 dollas.
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.
