my bro had the bxi 2006d with the two R's runnin at 1 ohm on his stock electrical in his neon jus fine. he had dimming but it wasnt horrid

yes you will, i think i still have a vid of them. let me see if i can find it. I knew they were going to fck up after watching them going full tilt with that much power. one of them is blown now, the other is still working. not being used though
here is one vid, not the best, he made more but i dont have them

thanks for the vids. ya it looked loud. the subs were really moving. cant wait to hook mine up!

they move A LOT. we played tones at full tilt another time, all the way down to 20hz and swore they were gonna blow right then and there. They were moving about as much as my HD3's on 2kw each

Running 15's, they liked right around 1krms. Really got them moving. a 15" Type-R can handle 1500RMS daily no problems, but with my personal experiences, they start to sound like *** after 1100+RMS.

As for 12's, i've had the best luck with around 700-800rms. Again, they can take more, but will start sounding like shit.

ya that sounds like most of us are thinking 7-800 is good for 12s. you running 1k to each of your 15s in your new build?

34 Hz


Idk what kind of type R's you guys are running, but everytime I pushed over 750 RMS on a 12" it would go, and for the 15" 1200 RMS +

The only way to run a 1500+ RMS on a 12" is to drop bottom on the gains, which really doesn't mean you're just looking to upgrade in the future.

Hell I could hook up a 8" rockford fosgate HE sub (150 rms) to my 1000 PDX, and if I set the gains to dead low, it won't blow, but will I really be pushing over 1K rms to it?

Hell no!

And I wouldn't go around saying it did.

you were probably clipping the hell out of it...in which case you werent sending it 750w.
15" type r, kx2500.1 @ 4 ohms, gains set with a dmm using a -6db 50hz test tone (when most only use 0db)....works beautifully.

whats it rated at 4 ohm? 1500?

yes sir

should be nice.

should be nice.

rated at 2500 @ 2, and 1500 @ 4. birthsheet says 2.96kw @ 2 so i guess it could be more at 4 ohms...but how honest that is, who knows. could be all marketing...

gains set to 1500 @ 4 though, is what its sitting at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

ya that kicker amp is at least putting out 1500. shit why not get 1 more and run them at two ohm?

thats exactly the reason for purchasing a dual 2 in the first place.

either next paycheck or that one after that, ill get another one, and build another box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

ya i figured that you did not buy the 2500 to run it at 4 ohm.

yea. i actually rebought this kx from the guy i originally sold it to. its powered quite a few subs in its life time lol.

i was thinking of purchasing another btl, but for the price, i can get two 15" type r's over $100 less AND have the option of purchasing one at a time, which is always nice for the wallet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
