amp for 2 type R's in explorer

[AndonD454 10+ year member]

500 rms, 1500 max..

but they are underrated, so you can send them upwards of 1000 rms a piece and they will handle it fine most of the time..

mine got pretty loud off of just 700 each though

im tryin to save as much money possible.. if you could go 340 shipped i could think about it.. but im really tryin to save as much as i can on this amp cuz i need new components...

They're not going to handle an actual 1000 all day long...

is there much of a difference from 500 to 1000 on a sub that is rated to sound fine at 500

500 x 2 = 1000

That means double the power...

Think about it...

right.. but i know of some other subs that once you put them 2 times past there RMS they start sounding like shit and lose alot of sq

i dunno about 1000 for daily on a 12", maybe the 15. If i was you, 700-800watts a piece would be more than enough to get those things wangin. Hifonics makes some decent budget amps, but then again i am kind of biased. I've only ran alpine, kenwood, and hifonics amps. Anyways, they are decent for the money, as well as viper amps, but im not sure where to pick those up at.
