I think we were just giving it too much power, but I don't know much about clipping or how to tell if there was any clipping going on. Those DCONs are only rated at 300 watts, do you think they can take the 500+ that we would be running?

Hey guys! Yesterday on the way home from a road trip with my brother, we blew his Polk DB1240dvc. We're not super concerned about it, but we're not sure which way to go for a new sub. We have looked into Fi, Orion, Ascendant Audio, Audioque, TC Sounds, DC Audio and several other brands, and the...

Thanks for the advice! That makes sense. I have another question though. If we put it in a ported box, what would be the best frequency to tune it to for that sub?

Hey! I just bought my brother a new sub for his car. I got him a Polk DB1240DVC. It's rated at 360 watts RMS. I'm looking at a Rockford Fosgate Prime R500-1 amp to power it with, but I'm not sure if 500 watts would be too much power. We are going to run it in parallel at 2 ohms. Would this amp...

Okay, I think I have it narrowed down to the Audioque AQ1200D, the Sundown Audio SAX-1200D and the Elemental Designs NINe.1. Out of these three, which would: Hit the hardest? Sound the cleanest? Be most efficient?

Do you guys think an MB Quart ONX1.1500D would work for the two 12" Type R's or would it have too much power for them?

Justyn93 -- Good call on the amp. I checked it out and it looks perfect. Would the Alpine PDX-4.100 be the best amp for my 5 1/4" Type R's or is there another that would be a better fit? misfit138 -- You're right, that is simple! I have a few more questions though: What gauge wires should I...

Hey! I'm almost 16 and I'm saving up for a sound system for my first car. I think I want to get two Alpine Type R SWR-1243d (Alpine SWR-1243D 12" Type-R Car Subwoofer/Sub (SWR1243D)) subs but I have no idea what amp (or amps) to power them with. I'm also getting two sets of Type R speakers...
