bad to under power boofers?

Their **** is CAE certified tho

That only means that the amp does in fact output the rated 500w at 4Ω.

The claim of 900w @ 2Ω is completely unsubstantiated, and out of scope of CEA2006

In 2003, the Consumer Electronics Association established standard CEA-2006, "Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers." This "voluntary" standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms.

***edit*** - by "completely unsubstantiated", I should have said - "not third party verified".

Of course I'm going to crank them shits up, that's why I'm getting new subs that can handle my amp

im really hoping that this is actually a troll attempt

Should I stock with the old version of the type r?

Then explain why my twenty year old 210 watt sony 4 channel smashes a excelon x-40 which is CEA rated at 400 watts??

Real world swap test , same vehicle , HU , speakers , cables , the whole nine yards. Hands down killed the excelon in every aspect.

They also shut down when played at 2ohm continuous.................................

thats not why he had that response, im guessing it was the same reason i did,

the fact that you said that you would be cranking up your gains, which means you will be clipping the amp, which will shorten the life span of your sub/s greatly,

one of the unwritten rules of car audio. the gain is not a volume knob.

get one type r.

get a new amp!! LOL Use that kenwood as a wheel chock when you are doing oil changes on your ride.

:-( im going too buy the 500w type r's because my 400w kenwood subs can't handle my amp. They distort when I turn the volume up past 85% or the gain up any higher than 60%

 

[Bassin Buick]

it's not the woofers distorting its the lamesauce signal that the amp is feeding them. I guarantee this.

thats most likely a little thing we like to call clipping.

just go with L7s, only square subs can play square sine waves.
