Just Great Now What!!

I am trying to be helpful, but you seem to misunderstand every question that is asked and then you come up with some impossible answer.
Now, how is it possible that you are running a single Type R, and had it wired at 4 ohms and now have it wired at 2? If you have a Dual 2, then you can have a 4 or 1 ohm load, dual 4 and you can have a 2 or 8 ohm load... Now pick one.

I know i just hate when people ask the same Q over and over again it is a dual 4 ohm wired down to 2 ohms.

If I were you, I would lower that gain a bit because currently you have it to put out near 900w, and at 2 ohms that isnt going to happen from that amplifier. It is said that they do their rated power, but I would set the gain at least ~50 to 100 watts less than the rated power, just to be safe. Here you are looking for close to 100w over its rated output, which is most deffinitly clipping as it is... I think perhaps you are looking for too much from that single Type R. Use your equipment properly and maybe you wont have to upgrade as much next time... Just a thought. And dropping the gain to read maybe ~38-39v will harldy make an audible difference, but could be the minimal difference that keeps your amplifier or subwoofer from later encountering problems.

spkrman told me freq at 50-70 the gain 40 a little over is fine i will love it to 40 with the volume at 32. Also its hard to tell where 50-70 is min is 30 max is 250 so middle is 110 i guess about half way up 30 and 110 will be good.

Again, I dont mean to hassle you, but typing correctly and using some form of punctuation really helps understand what you are trying to say...

But the LPF is hardly the height of your worries. If you want to properly set your amplifier then do not expect more output than it was designed to do. And the LPF does not have to be at a certain point, but around 60Hz is a common selection for it, again this is just somewhere to aim and should be set to fit your taste of what tones you want your sub drivers to play.

And by the way, this 'spkrman told me to do....' crap isnt going to fly for long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I do use punctuation, alright... Anyways my last setup sounded awsome as hell when it was pushing 75-80AVC haaha. I learned my lesson on that one, hopefully this time it will sound better i will do freq 60ish gain 38-39V, and the volume on the H/U is gonna be 32.

Now if you are still not happy with the output of the subwoofer then that is the time for upgrading. The Type R is not the best out there, so do not feel that you cant upgrade from what you have. Dont even be afraid to try a couple new enclosures, Mark can not know what exactly works best in your vehicle.

YES HE CAN!!! LOL i am just kidding the only reason i am saying all this is because the last time i did this you couldnt even hear bass. It only sounded good when i had my amp freq on 120 and my gain about half way up making 75-80ACV!! LOL i got all new now so hopefully it will work right.

Will the volume on 32 my freq on 55-60 i then turned the gain up till ACV was at 38.5!
