dont get type r's they are overrated.

or sundown

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif The Type-R is the most underrated SQL woofer on the market today. There is a reason why they have a huge following here, so what exactly are you talking about?

For anyone thats still listening, ive been looking at Type-R's and have come up with what I think, is a pretty solid sub. This is it:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009NXN7K/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2R3C9EKLQ57PZ&v=glance

What kind of amp should I look into getting for the subs to function well?

were you thinking one or 2 type r's? the type r's are maxing out at 500rms apeice. Then you can find any cheap 750-1000w rms amp, but make sure you check if that power is at 2ohms or 1 ohms. To check out what modle of the type r's you should get. DVC2 or DVC4

i had two type r's in my car running off a rf 301m and it shook the car preatty good

This was what I was looking at:

AMP: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0014E2PD6/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2TGMCZ4O2P52Z&v=glance

Have the box custom built. If your not up to building one then someone on here can.

gotcha, but does everything else look solid?

 

[spltuscon 10+ year member]

Yes, you'll be happy with both of those products (sub and amp I mean). The box is garbage like most prefabs. The Type R is a very capable driver with some power and a good box...I've embarrassed a LOT of much bigger setups with them...

 

[Cart9739 10+ year member]

Would one 500W RMS type R be better than two 250W RMS Type E's? The type r would also have a bigger amp.

so were you thinking 1 sub or 2... u never answered that. somereason i thought you were looking for two but the like to the box is a single

Oh, sorry man! I was thinking one, but i'm trying to figure out, i have a 1000W amp connected to my two type e's, and i was wondering if a 2000W amp paired with one type r would surpass them?

 

[TMali 10+ year member]

well if your looking at that d4 alpine type r, that amp puts out 900rms at 2 ohms

wire the sub like this

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=1&woofer_imp=4

and that amp is doing 400 rms of overkill, you would have to keep that amp turned down to alitlle over half. But if you had two that amp would be perfect. And with those type e's what is the rms rating on that amp, 1000w doesnt always mean anything

 

[Cart9739 10+ year member]

this was the amp i had paired with the type e's:

[TMali 10+ year member]

do you still have that amp? that amp would be perfect for one 12" type r SWR-1222D

wireing

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=1&woofer_imp=3

bridge that amp at 4 ohms it put out 500rms

but i think that will be louder than your 2 10" e's

 

[Cart9739 10+ year member]

I do! but....ebay's got some hella cheap subs...I could *probably* go for two there, hock the type e's, and buy a kickass 1800W amp with the credit from that! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
