it all adds up to 720. does it look pretty good?

and one question, i want rear speakers in my car also could i just get a set of coaxils to go in the back and just power them of the deck? or should i just buy comps and another amp

Thats not enuff power for the Type R

and forget rears

600 watts isnt enough?

and why forget the rears?

Rears aren't necessary, but it's fine to put them in the back off deck power. Ideally, you shouldnt be able to hear them up front.

And Type R's are power hungry.

The Type R will work decently off 600w rms, but yeah, the majority of comments I read here is that they work much better off 800-1200w rms as Tbayz and Jman hinted at.

Try it without rear speakers first so you can get a feel for strong front soundstaging and imaging. If you feel you want rears after a couple/few weeks, then worry about throwing some coaxes off HU power back there.

Im not saying its not going to push the Type R, im just saying that it can take more power, sorry I didnt word that right the first time, it will get loud tho, and you'll be satisfied

All in all, the system you put together would be //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

sorry, didn't mean to imply that... i was just reaffirming that you and jman were right about the type r's lust for power.

MBQ whore

Don't you have that tattooed on your butt cheek? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

hahaha. is there maybe a better sub that would work off that amp for about the same price? remember i'm looking for something that can hit pretty hard. not like blow your ear drums out but i want to be able to feel it rattle my chest =]

with the system that i mentioned above i shouldn't have to do anything extra besides cutting the holes for the tweaters right(thinking about just getting kickpanels)? my car should be able to power it all?

Do you care about musical clarity in the sub stage or do you just want some bump?

 

[30mm 10+ year member]

i defientaly care about sq. there's no point in bumping a sub if it sounds like sh*t.

am i in a situation to where i have to pick one or the other because of my budget?

 

[DejaWiz 5,000+ posts]

Oh not at all! I was just trying to gauge what you were after so I could make some recommendations.

more to follow....
