How do you expect to know what numbers a sub can out up without anything at all. Its impossible to tell what people will hit even when they list theyre setup, theyre car,and the mic theyll be using, and your trying to get "real numbers" without even knowing what size box? hmmmmm......

And for the record, my guinea pigs name is guss.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And btw, a 5 cu. ft. ported box tuned to low 30's would be good.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

take a "guss"

btw here is how to get best SQ

I heard that the lower speaker impedance - harder for an amp to control spekers cone movement, as the result worst SQ.

so make sure to run atleast 4ohm

MANY MANY factors. atleast give info on what equipment you will be using with the R's and car

Theyre good for theyre price. Whether theyre the best for the price is personal opinion. Some people love them and some people are stubborn and will never get one because of all the hype. What are you looking for, a loud setup, a good sounding setup, or one that will sound get, but get decently loud at the same time? In other words, spl, sq, or sql. Most say to put the R's in a 4.5-5 cu. ft. box tuned to your liking. For daily purposes, not tuned above 40. Most suggest low 30's, such as 32 or so. Moe Lester has stickied box plans in the enclosure design section if you plan on making your own box. If not, dont buy a prefab box. Have someone here make it for you. The type r's are rated at 500 watts, but some people throw 1000 to them with no problem. I would suggest anywhere from 500-900 each to be safe.

Eclipse deck(55430) Kicker componet 6.2(2 set's)directed 4200 componets(4 channel) directed 1500d(d-class 1 ohm stable mono amp)95 firebird, WILL find a cheaper sub to hit 150 db's or higher.
