[rickcd 10+ year member]

just got my 12" type r wired up to an MRP345 amp, with type r 6x9s wired up to channels 1 and 2 and the sub from 3 and 4 bridged. Had it in for a day now and it hits like consise bass really well, properly smacks you in the back, but just doesnt have that bassy rumble for songs like hip-hop by dead prez.

Does that make sense?

id appreicate any help if you know

cheers

what kinda box is it in? sealed, ported? how many cubes? tuned to what?

 

[Mr. Opportunist 10+ year member]

need a larger box and a LOT more power.

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

need more power, alot more. and a properly designed large ported box

 

[jalverson 10+ year member]

i wouldn't recomend any boxes until he tells us what it is in right now. for all u know it is ported

but more power wouldn't hurt

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

well he says it hits the "concise" bass and not hip hop. i am guessing it is in a sealed or ported pre fab box

im thinking the box is the problem, its not even a box to be honest, its like only got 2 sides, but it sealed by the floor of the trunk and the back seats. dont know how big it is but its not huge, not tuned.

Is the amp a real problem? do i need something much more powerful? it says its 300RMS.

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

if it is the 05' type r you need alot more power and a box with more than 2 sides

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

at least 500 rms

Can we get pictures of the box its in now?

What year is the type r from? That will influence its power handling.
