So how much power do you suggest I give two 12 inch Type R's? They are 500 RMS each, 1500 peak. I thought they sounded pretty amazing in my amateur at best ported box on 1300-1400 watts.
Im sure thats fine. Are those the older models? Arent the new ones 600 RMS? I was surprised that they took the power so well. But then again, they were sealed up. I think he did like a 145 in a Chevy Malibu.
they are the 2nd generation model, so 500 rms, got them secondhand from my brother after he failed to pay me back for money I lent him. So they are pretty old but still hit very hard.
I am very glad to be alive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Guess I felt like the amp should be able to handle all of that for some reason. I just want to push the Type R's to their maximum potential. Looks like a better amp/more careful tuning is needed in my next setup. Thanks
'ffft thats for sure I didn't know you had the gain all the way up, next time you get your amp hit me up (I texted you just now send a text back if you got it) and I'll see when I can come over and help haha.
3rd gen can take well over 1,000rms I ran mine daily on that for over 1.5years. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Okay there is not an amp on this planet that can handle being unmounted on top of your box. The only thing that is keeping your amp from falling off of your box is the wires. When those wires start to move, they can arc and mess your equipment up. You should do some reading on how to properly install a system before something bad happens.
Yes sorry I meant Volts haha, Bass boost was at 0, and yup the two type r's were wired down to one ohm.
The gain settings weren't all the way up though, they were at about 45%. I tuned it with a DMM but obviously I shouldn't be using 1400/1400 watts available from the amp.
