as long as there is no clipping you should be fine.........even right now my t2 comp speakers are rated at 100rms and i have my amp set to 175rms at my normal listening volume and they take it like champs, the type r is obviously a little more rugged than a door speaker though..

a clean wave is everything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You're gonna need some electrical upgrades to run 2k rms in a probe.

...Hmm....

I have sent an 8" sub that is rated for 600rms over 1600rms(clamped) on many occasions and its still just as good as new. Ran it daily with over 1k for over a year and no problems.

And just because he wants to use a 2k amp, that dose not mean the subs will ever see that much power(1k each). I never hurts to have some extra head room.

Cant say that extra head rm doesnt hurt.I just stated my opinion, that I wouldnt recommend going beyond the rms rating, and I dont .Not all type r are going to handle that type of power for long periods of time /last imo, or any sub.Not all people do the big three,run 0ga supply, with 3 batterys, and an ho alternator, and a well generated voltage with a good amp supply holding @or above the 14.2v either,as some of us do.They may be getting a 1/3 of the power out of theyre amp stock with a small upgrade as most cant afford the wallet breaker.Yet, everyone has an opinion, and I stated mine, and recommended..thats all.OP will make his decision among all the recommendations.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

just to make sure,

1. Big 3?

2. what model number dry cell in the rear?

3. you can run a ground from your alt to the bat ground if need be.

4. are your rear grounds to the chassis or just the frame

they are peddy things that make a world of difference.

i used to have 2 of them and was powering them off an mb quart dsc 2k and they sounded good for what they were and i had them in a box with about 2.1^3 for each tuned to around 32Hz. you should be fine

It really should be done asap, and make sure your amps are chassis grounded also at the same point to help reduce interference.

I would also replace your wet cell battery up front and get another agm battery.

The big 3 is actually a great upgrade.

You would be surprised at the results, even with a stock ele.

well when i asked shop to do it they said there is no alt ground and cant b one they said thats y i have a frame ground or something like that so i upgraded that wire so all i have to do is the power to the alt and then what else

The alt grounds through the brackets and block.

Run a new ground from your batt ground to the chassis. Run another ground form the block to the chassis and run a new charge/power wire from the alt to the battery.

I recommend that you read the tutorial on the sticky of the big three, or even better yet,a much easier informative understanding on you-tube"Big 3 Upgrade", will help you as well.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
