Amp for 12'' Type-R

[jeffs42885 10+ year member]

Hello All,

I am currently running the following setup in my 2011 Scion TC:

12'' Alpine Type-R Dual 4 Ohm

Kicker ZX750.1 (Birthsheet of 947)

2.5 Cubes @ 33hz

It is loud. It sounds great, but I remember from back in the day people were giving these subs much more power and they were fine. i had 2 of them hooked to a KX2500.1 a few years ago and it was a great overall setup..sounded great, was loud for a trunk car.

A friend of mine has a JBL BP2100 , this amp..

I think he said something about the birthsheet being around 1300 for this @ 2 ohms, 11 volts or something. He said it's rated differently. I am not too sure. He said that he has a friend that can use a zx750 and wants to do an even up trade. I am just making sure that this kind of power wont blow the sub..I know they are cheap, but I don't want to have to replace it. What is everyones thoughts.

Thanks

They only have 2.5 inch coils on the Gen 4s.. They can take too much power over rated. I put 1600-1800 to my pair and they are fine as long as its clean. I have 2800 on tap right now but they dont get any louder after the 1800.

It's a gen 2 I believe, from 07.

do the trade just turn the gain down and keep the bass boost low.then you'll have extra power on tap if needed
