SO much for the type r/TCAB hype. blew sub and components

[Red Rocket 10+ year member]

The R is rated for 500 RMS. Sure, Mark and many others were sending 2-3x that much power to their R's but does that mean it's okay to? Maybe, maybe not. If your sub starts smelling funny, there is obviously a problem there and you are overpowering them. I'm sending mine about 700-800 and it's great because they get plenty loud and I'm not risking blowing it out as much as someone like you.

my components were getting around 80 rms from the avionnixx 440.4, the 12" type r was getting probably around 1200 watts from a bd1500. there was no distortion or clipping. the type r did not even "smell" b4 it blew. and it was not brand new, it had been used for quite some time, so no defects or anything

meh, im sure you were getting no where near that ammount of power out of that amp. I believe this must have happened to clipping, or some sort of electrical issue if you were able to blow it off of a brutus. I am running my powerbass xa-3000d at .5ohm to mine daily. There is no reason that it shouldve blown over that little amount of power unless it was user error. There was nothing wrong with the box, or the equipment, maybee next time you should set your gains properly and you would still have the sub and components. kind of coincidental that you and your friends equipment both blew and you probably helped him install everything since you design custom enclosures you must know what you are doing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

This thread is freeking hillarious. Anyone who jerks with Type-R nation is stupid as you just signed yourself up for a bunch of flaming.

you moron, it is a modded rockford fosgat bd1500, not bx1500d. the bd1500 puts out its rated power

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

i didn't help him install anything at all. Everything is installed correctly. and i invite anyone in the area to look over both our installs if you don't believe me

ok

this sounds like user error

a sub and comps blown in a weekend...something went seriously wrong

What he means is that after impedence rise and voltage, you're NOT getting the rated power.

For instance, i had a pair of nine.1s strapped to my type-r 10", wired to a 1 ohm load, thus .5 ohm per amp. This SHOULD do a RATED 2000+ watts RMS, but because of my impedence rise i was getting a grand total of 550 RMS from the PAIR.

you moron,

You blew a set of components and your buddy blew a 12" Type R all in a single weekend.

You come on here and start a thread jumping to all sorts of conclusions with zero evidence to back any of it up, etc etc.

Who's the moron?

blowing the sub is completly unrelated to the components, it was not even in the same vehicle

thats why i said about 1200 watts instead if the 1500-1800. this amp is also modded

I doubt you're getting even 1200 watts.

Depending on your impedence rise, you may be getting less than 800-900

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

the amp does 1500+ at 2 ihms, so if it had impedence rise, i would think 1200 is a good estimate. And the one guy thought that my friend had a hifonics bx1500d instead of the rockford bd1500, which puts out way more power. he refered to it as "brutus" in his post

 

[Eugenics 5,000+ posts]

yeah.. im sure it actually puts that out at two ohms

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

yes it does . the rockford bd1500 is a great amp. what makes you think it does not put out 1500 at 2 ohms
