Best Amp for 2x Type-R?

[OldManBass]

Yes, but there's no point in sacrificing your upper end for rock music to get a better lower end if you dont listen to music that plays that low. Since he wants the double bass, a box tuned a bit higher would be better suited for him than a box that is tuned lower.
For me, I love the lows. I don't care for anything over 45 hz really so I don't need a box that can play that high, so I'd rather sacrifice that higher end to have a better lower end.

Kick drum is like what... 50hz? You should be able to get pretty flat up to 70hz and still play the lows with a good bit of authority without building a box for the low lows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Wouldn't be a true ground pounder, but I've heard a lot of stuff get way loud way low and still play up to 70hz or so.

See I wanted a true groundpounder lol, like a low 20 hz warrior, so I didn't really need to play up to 70 hz

As long as he gets a good custom box, he'll be happy lol

If he does as suggested he will more then happy. Don't know his experience but it could be the best he's ever heard.

I'm not a fan of hifonics amps.

Neither am I.

If OP is trying to keep budget down, a PPI Phantom 1000.1 would get the job done on a single Fi SSD and should do more than rated clean... they clamp about 1200 from what I've seen and heard. Good budget amp, hell I run a Phantom 4 channel on my front stage.

Sorry guys, I was typing as you all replied hahaha.

Thanks again for all the responses!! You've turned me from two type R's and a thousand bucks in upgrades to.. I think..

1 Fi SSD15 and an American Bass VFL 80.1

Now the 80.1 is the way to go, even though it's only stable at 1 ohm?

Isn't 2 ohm a little easier on my electrical system?

And btw, I'm driving a dodge stratus, and if you saw where the battery/alternator was.. you'd understand how reluctant I am to do the big 3 lol.

Also, where the crap can I even buy a VFL 80.1? "No Internet Sales Permitted"?

And you guys say to grab a custom ported enclosure, right? People selling them on here?

Yes, the 80.1 is the way to go if you are willing to pay for it. You are gonna have to **** it up and do the big 3, and probably add a second battery.

Those amps a built around 1ohm. They are just as good as pretty much every 2ohm amp

Dealer or call them. Look in the vender section for a box.

You think i'd need to do the big 3 and get a second battery even with just 1000w RMS?

You'd be surprised at how good the little 4 channel sounds... from what I hear it's fooled more than one SQ competitor, but it will eventually be replaced with something a little higher end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would do the big 3 at a MINIMUM.

 

[clanderson]

Ok, thanks again.

Know where to get a big 3 kit for less than 150 bucks? lol

Big 3 is a must for any amp. Battery will depend. I would see what happens first. Read up and ask about proper setting and it will help voltage.

Don't need a kit just buy by the foot. Knuconceptz OFC cable. I think it's called flex
