I've never seen an amp that does more pwr at 2 ohm than it does at 1 ohm

Sorry, OP I dont mean to jack ur thread. I just had to add a pic. View attachment 26544728

Ur amp is 2ohm stable in bridged mode, I stand by my suggestion for a dual 4ohm sub. Google ur user manual for the power t5002 amp.

budget ?

Type r.... Or better off get something less mainstream and more unheard of. A good setup that sticks out IMO is one that's not bought at a local store, it's put together from different places and is more harder to mimic. Good luck with the R! Post some pics.

195 a new xfl 12 shipped, that will stomp all over the L7 and the type r

Maybe a low end DC, digital designs, or a Treo. Heck, even an AQ like bgowdy31's or incrimminator audio or skar audio... Just something to set your setup apart from the rest. IMO

I'll check out the xfl 12..

Also thanks! I'll look around.. unfortuntly the local craigslist ads or people here dont have much options.. most people here bump kicker, pioneer, sony. few have some nice stuff like dc, sundown, skar, jl w6, w7, or rockford t1s.

Also for my amp, me looking at 800rms - 1000rms dual 4ohms too much or just enough/right for my amp?

 

[Dmac1991]

800-1000rms at 4ohms will cost you a pretty grip.

and also I suggest an American Bass TnT

Your amp can make good power at 2ohm bridged. Those little t series rockfords are no joke. I would try to pick up a used sa12 or a skar vvx12. If you can wait obsidian is pre ordering theyre v3 models which are dead **** for the cheaps right now.

x2 on the american bass tnt but u also will need to be careful dumping all of ur power on a 2.5" coil. I love the ab xfl12s (3"coil)but they have a stiff suspension and tend to like a bit more power to maximize output. U may want to consider other 3" coil subs just to be safer.

The new alpine amp do more power at 2ohms, so so the arc audio ks series.

Yeah I do have a budget of $150ish but for the right subs I can save a little more and say $200ish. I just want a sub that will satisfy me. lol not into crazy systems and competition.

Yeah, I'm learning the hard way. even at the suppose 300rms @ 4ohms bridged its blowing my 400rms-500rms subs like nothing, gone through 4 subs (2 rockfords,2 pioneers and on my 5th sub mtx) now.. and I dont even turn it up all the way.

Any suggestions on other 3" coil subs? lets say around $200 and down. lol I dont even know much about all that 2.5" to 3" coil so yeah I'm clueless.

You're definitely not going to regret saving up and spending a bit more on subwoofers. If you can push into the $180-200 range, you're really going to start getting into the drivers that'll perform far better than your basic Type Rs or L7s. Like Jim (mylows10) said, the XFL is a great 3" coil subwoofer that'll take your power well. You can also put more power on it in the future if you decide to upgrade. Ask around, because $200 will buy you a huge variety of subs that'll perform differently, depending on what your goals are for your system.
