[QUOTE="AnthonyXJ, post: 7944916, member: 646451"] This will all be reguarding the optimal setup for 2 R1's. As of now my setup goes as follows. There are 2 RF R1's wired to 2ohms, RMS at 300, Max at 600. Now here's where my questions are. I dont know much about the amp they're running on. It is a 600w 3/4 channel sony xplod. (got for free) As of now im only running the 2 r1s off the amp. The thing is, I dont know how much that amp is pushing on one channel. I've looked online and cant get a definate answer for much much its pushing at 2 oms/1 channel. Another thing is the amp seems to over heat a lot at higher volumes. Sometimes after only a minute or 2. As far as I know the amp is 10+ years old. I know a possible problem might be the power wire I have ATM, it's pretty small, i'd probably say 12 or 14 gauge. Im going to upgrade that in the next few days to come. But could that be a possible culprit of the problem? Ideally, I should get a 300w mono amp. Maybe one from RF which is perfect match for these subs. They're pretty loud right now as it is, but if it's only running at a fraction of what it could be running at, i would love to bump it up a little. Just a little bit of backgroud information. I'm 17. Got my first car this past Febuary. Knew nothing about car audio. Researched it a little. Saved up some money for a decent system.
