Do monoblocks give each woofer the same wattage rms?

Or is it split between each woofer?

Sorry for the newb question //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

it splits the power between the woofers.

splits it. splits the rms not the max wattage. max wattage is a pointless rating.

so ****, how do I figure out what my type rs will push? I guess since they are dual 2ohm that they will be 700 rms each then @ 2ohm?

the rms rating is not the max power it puts out, it is just the continuous power the amp puts out

Actually on music you will never get RMS wattage out of an amp either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i have them sealed. lack of room dictates that in a truck. they are still ok though. they bounce quarters off the roof. type r's really shine in a larger ported enclosure though. 2 cu. ft. per sub or so at 32 hz is pretty nice.

Hmmm, Im gonna hit you up in abotu a week when I build my box for em.

I was thinking divide each sub in one box abotu the size of the entire ext cab but only up to the window about, and slot port each sub.....?

i wasn't willing to lose my jumper seat, hence a smaller box. you could fit 4 cubes back there. word to the wise right now, get some dynamat, second skin etc. you will rattle the hell out of your truck. my roof sounded like annoying thunder with a sealed box. also, i had a sony head unit at first, but the bass made my cd's skip. have a good head unit.
